The vacuum advanced stopped working so it has its hiccups driving down the road. I plan on swapping the distributor to an electronic one. Mostly to get rid of the points system and take care of the vacuum at the same time. A new vac chamber costs as much as a new distributor with one...

Thank you for posting it anyway. Always good to find more parts.

Installing new axle seals on the closed knuckle and axle nuts.. I've never torn down a closed knuckle. This should be a train wreck
