Related question for the list:
Is there a vacuum advance lucas available for the 1500. All my cars are
California models and have vacuum retarded. The one that I drive, the
'78, has a Weber and runs well with the retard disconnected, but I wonder
if things could be improved. Chilton's indicates that the '75 model had
vacuum advance. Does anyone know if this is so? Frank?
If all Lucas 1500 distributors are retarded, then Michael, I have an
extra one that I could part with for a small sum, should you be
interested.
