She's Back
After six months of sitting in the garage, I finally took the 79 to the mechanic. I drove her home today and it was simply orgasmic. She's almost better than new. My mechanic told me that I will need a new vacuum advance. Can anyone tell me what it is and where it is located?
Thank you
Doug

The vacuum advance can is mounted to the side of the distributor. If that is not working, your engine performance will be the 'pits'. You can get replacements about anywhere, but I would recommend NAPA.

Also, make sure its not just the hose. The car will actually work ok without it as I have left mine unhooked a few times. It will just work a LOT better with it on right. Also be sure to reset your timing after the install
