'76 280C W/no Vacuum lines from Carb to Distributor
Hi Everybody,
I'm a Newby, and have a problem finding how to time this engine. I was lead to believe that there were two vacuum lines from the Carburetor to the distributor.
one for advance, and one for retard (Crazy). When I look at the Dist. there are no Vac.. lines! The lines from the Carb. go to a little round unit with an electrical
connection. How do I time this thing. Factory spec. is too far advanced. Bob.
