A distributor vacuum advance uses engine vacuum to advance ignition timing during light-load, part-throttle driving. As load increases and vacuum drops, the added timing falls away. Signs this part may need replacing include hesitation or sluggish response at light throttle, reduced fuel economy, or a vacuum leak at the unit. These signs can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system first. If a failed vacuum advance is the cause, the VC-225 replaces it.
