Hi Randall
I thought that might be the case, I do have one question, my PI has vacuum
advance taken from the idle bypass port, way away from the butterfly, is
that why they deleted it on later cars with the explanation that it had
little effect on performance or economy.
Another question on the advance port, I am guessing that the location is
pretty critical, I would need to put this in real carefully, I am a
redundant toolmaker who is most p$%%^d off about loosing access to all the
machinery! I have nowhere even for a standard size pillar drill!

Thanks for your help.

Graham.
