What's actually up with the old vac? is the diaphrarm split?

have you tested it? put a small piece of pipe on it and...suck - if the 'arm' that goes into the distributor moves then it's fine.

If you don't have one, then you could probably use one from a Pinto motor
(pretty sure the spring rate/vacuum are very similar), but it's been a while since I worked on these)

Cheers

Try Recarb at Kawana, Sunny Coast. They recondition vacuum advances.
