Vacuum first - It would appear that my only options to provide vacuum to the advance is to either use the "T" off the metering block which has no vac at idle and as you said, when RPM goes up so goes the Vac. the only other place would be to place a 2 nipple fitting where the power break vac is on the manifold. Any other idea's?

On the distributor I am sending out to David Fiedler for restoration. I had a chat with David this morning and its packed and ready to ship.

On the PCV, I have another thread going on CrankCase Ventilation - With thanks to Duke and Leif I have just today received my PML corvette covers. I am routing clean air drivers front inboard side to my stock air cleaner and routing PCV passenger inboard rear side into the Carburetor base. I am installing a new Oil Fill Tube with the cork sealing cap and capping off the 3/8 nipple.

The vacuum at the power brake fitting will work, the valve covers look nice, just make sure the PCV is baffled good so it does not suck oil.
