Hi,
My 350 HP, Manual Transmission, 68 GTO is missing most of the vacuum advance system. I know that I can buy the hoses and the 5 port switch assembly, but who makes or has the cannister with the three hose connections?
How critical is this to engine performance?
Is there some other way to hook up the advance and retard hoses for the vacuum advance that is on the distributor?
I am at the point of putting the engine back into running order and want to make sure that it works properly.
Thanks,
Mike Murphy
