This distributor vacuum advance control uses engine vacuum to adjust ignition timing at the distributor, so spark advance can change as engine load changes during driving.
Signs a vacuum advance may need replacing include hesitation or sluggish response at part throttle, reduced fuel economy, or a unit that will not hold vacuum. Other ignition and vacuum problems can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the original vacuum advance is leaking or sticking, VC-217 is designed to replace it.
