Title: 1968 Pontiac vacuum advance
Post by: deanhickey on August 20, 2020, 03:15:41 PM

I had my original Q-jet refurbished by you and am very happy with the results. My question is about my vacuum advance. It has to vacuum ports on high and one low. it is my understanding that the high on is the advance and the lower on is the retard. How does this work and how does it effect timing adjustment? Any info on this would be a help.
Thanks,
Dean
