It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1965-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1965-1972 Chevrolet Impala, 1967-1972 Chevrolet Camaro, 1970-1972 Checker Marathon, 1970-1972 Pontiac LeMans and 1973-1974 GMC C15/C1500 Pickup, among 65 listed applications.

A distributor vacuum advance control uses engine vacuum to move ignition timing ahead under light-load conditions, then lets timing return as vacuum drops. If a leaking or sticking original unit is the cause of sluggish part-throttle response or poor fuel economy, this unit replaces it.

  • Precision calibration: Calibrated for correct ignition advance.
  • Leak tested: Units are tested at 30HG maximum vacuum to confirm they do not leak.
  • Quality control: As a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, Standard keeps quality control in-process from componentry through to the finished product.
  • Heritage: Standard has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919, focusing on quality and broad ignition coverage.

Signs this part may need replacing include a diaphragm that will not hold vacuum, a hiss at the unit, hesitation or flat response at part throttle, or reduced fuel economy. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since timing and vacuum problems can have other sources.
