Nelson,
I think you've got it right. Plug the pipe on the carb and the vacuum
advance can sit there without a hose..but I capped it too just to keep stuff
from getting inside it.
And I assume you meant to say the advance unit stays on the
distributor...(not the carb)....no hose connected.
As an aside, I looked at the Lucas distributor numbers on the page you
mentioned but couldn't match the same numbers with any of the distributors I
have...but somehow I've learned to not expect TR numbers and info. to always
jive so I guess I won't concern myself with it.
