Replace distributor for non ccc carb.
Hi all.
I know for a fact that the carb I have on my engine is from a '79 engine and must of been replaced here in Aust and isn't ccc.
Anyway, from what I can see they didn't change the distributor. I don't see any vacuum advance on the disty. The car does run, but does smell very rich.
I've attached photos of the dist if that helps to identify it.
Is there a guide or a disty that people recommend to replace the ccc one?
Cheers.

Either to a ported vac source above the throttle blades, or directly to full manifold vac. One of those 'two schools of thought' things. Prefer full manifold myself.

The vac advance for the distributor gets hooked up to a part vaccum source not full vaccum

Re: Replace distributor for non ccc carb.
Yep, full. Gives you slightly better idle, mpg, and lower temps.
Edit: Use in conjunction with an adjustable can, so you can dial it in right.
