A vacuum advance uses engine vacuum to advance ignition timing when the engine is under light load. It is designed to vary spark timing with driving conditions. If a worn or leaking unit is causing hesitation or sluggish response, this unit replaces it.

• Calibrated advance: Precision-calibrated for correct ignition advance.
• Leak tested: Units are tested at 30HG maximum vacuum to confirm they do not leak.
• Quality control: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It maintains complete quality control throughout manufacturing, from componentry to the finished product.
