original '67 289(4v) automatic vacuum advance
« on: June 29, 2015, 09:33:32 PM »
Was the original vacuum advance one piece...or was there a separate piece with the small fitting for the hose screwed into the body?  Also, am I correct that the vacuum advance tube was rubber in '67, as opposed to the '66 steel one?

Just to illustrate what Bob posted -  NOS example though the dist lead has been removed. Not a later service replacement or rebuilt unit - boxed in 1968

To all: DON"T COPY THE PAINT MARKS it may not be correct for your application ;)

Nice pic.....I can see with the different finish on the metal the piece that screws into the main body...
