Hello,
Wondering if there is a way to see if this vacuum advance modulator (I think that's what it's called) can be checked out to see if it functions correctly.

Is there a way to test it?


Thanks,
Bryan

I would think you could use a hand vacuum pump (like this) and pump it to see if it moves and holds vacuum?

I think I'll try a vacuum pump. I'll borrow my buddies electric pump. Worth a shot to see if the original one still works.

I'm just sorting through the parts and giving them a good cleaning as I go. I decided to see if I had all the front engine pulleys and brackets for the accessories. It's all there.


Now to sort out the top end......
