I have contacted the list before regarding my replacement distributor, but am
now at another loss. I have a '73 B that I replaced the distributor with a '72
18V HC piece. I think that I have the problem narrowed down to the vacuum
unit. When the vacuum advance is unplugged but the port of the manifold is
plugged the car idles fairly well, but when I hook the advance tube back up the
car starts to shake and fluctuates about 200rpm. I did a quick check last week
that consisted of disconnecting the hose from the manifold and since I didn't
have the mityvac handy, I just blew into the hose and there was a noticeable
hiss coming from the distributor. I assume that this means the vacuum unit
needs replaced. Now the problem, the distributor number is 41234 H, Moss does
not have anything that corresponds to this number. Their book just lists 41370
for the '72 models. Will this work or am I trying to do something that won't
work? Also, would I hurt the car if in the interim I just disconnect the
vacuum hose and plug the port and drive the car that way?
Thanks,
Zach
