Let engine vacuum do its job at the distributor with the Standard Ignition distributor vacuum advance, part number VC-168. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1970-1972 Dodge Charger, 1970-1971 Dodge D200 Pickup and 1970-1971 Dodge D300 Pickup. This vacuum advance control helps adjust ignition timing as engine load changes.
A distributor vacuum advance links to the distributor and uses engine vacuum to advance ignition timing during light-load, part-throttle operation. As vacuum drops under heavier load, the timing returns.
Signs this part may need replacing include hesitation or sluggish response at part throttle, reduced fuel economy, a vacuum leak at the unit, or timing that does not advance when vacuum is applied. If a failed vacuum advance is the cause, VC-168 replaces it.
