     Well, almost done with reinstalling the engine after a major overhaul. 
     Got a few questions... The previous owner installed a Weber DGV in the 
     1980 engine. All of the emmisions are gone. There seems to be no 
     method of advance for the distributor vaccuum wise. The car has a 
     Crane igni. I have heard that the Weber and the original system work 
     on two different types of advance systems. One advances the system at 
     RPM and the other retards at idle. There is no vaccuum system in this 
     car. The side cover breather is currently attatched to the air filter 
     with no PCV or anything also. How should the Weber be setup to 
     properly advance the spark in terms of a vaccuum connection. Should 
     anything else be hooked up to the engine that isn't, putting aside 
     passing emissions ie. side cover to PC? The valve cover is alum w/ 
     vented cap no extra tube comming out of it...
