OK, now I'm confused as well. I'm pretty sure that, by the time we got 
the 6+, we got Stromberg CDSE carbs on the 49-state models. Also, by the 
1970 models, we got charcoal cannisters for evaporative emissions. I 
know my 1970 GT6+ has both vacuum advance and retard on its Delco 
distributor, but I'm not sure about any switches.

I guess I'll have to read my books and look at my car tonight.
