[DML] Re: vac advance question

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

An inoperative vacuum advance will cause an increase in fuel
consumption, knocking under a heavy load (accelerating) and a loss of
power. Under severe conditions it can contribute to overheating. The
motor will run better with it hooked up and working. Check that the
mechanical advance is working and check the initial (base) timing.
