A distributor vacuum advance control uses engine vacuum to advance ignition timing when the engine is under light load. It lets the timing return as vacuum drops. If the original unit leaks or sticks, timing advance may not respond as intended.
- Precision calibration: Calibrated for correct ignition advance.
- Leak-tested: Units are tested at 30HG maximum vacuum to confirm they do not leak.
- Quality control: Standard is a global maker of original equipment ignition products. It maintains quality control across the whole manufacturing process, from componentry to finished product.
- Ignition heritage: Standard has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919 with a focus on quality and broad ignition coverage.
Signs this part may need replacing: Hesitation or stumbling on light acceleration, reduced fuel economy, a vacuum leak at the distributor, or timing advance that does not move when vacuum is applied. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
