help needed identifying vac advance can specs
I picked up a STANDARD Auto Parts VC301 from NAPA. The parts guy swore (from memory) that this is the one I need, same as the "B20", but the catalogue didn't give any specs and I can't find anything on their web page. Apparently the old catalogues gave the specs. Can anyone tell me what the specs are on this advance can?
Thanks.
Thanks.

VC1765 is the vac can you're looking for.
Shoot Lars an e-mail and ask him for a copy of his paper on vacuum advance control units.

Rich -
If you have a '78 and you just bought a can that's the same as a B20, you got the wrong one - that's a can for a points-type tach-drive distributor. Select the right unit from my paper and don't have the parts guys tell you which one you need... they don't have a clue.
