Hello. I have a 1973 1.7 D-Jet and am having some issues with my vacuum canister on the distributor. It is a 2 connection distirbutor. First off.
Can anyone explain to me exactly how the 2 connection works? And number 2- Can I plug it and use a 1 connection? The reason why I ask is because PP has to order them(and even then it may be NLA) and it's 24$ for the 1 connection and 188$ for the 2. I can't really afford a 2 connection. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Derek |

Thanks, Derek *snip* The single port was never fitted to any 914 and at 5.00 would be a waste of money. I dont understand, are you saying that ALL 914s had a vacume can with both Adv. & Retard ports only on later cars Adv was not used? For example Mid to late 74/4 (LE) has a single port on the throotle body but a dual port on Vac can? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

The early cars used retard to lower the initial timing for better idle and the other side of the cannister for the advance which helped the timing move more quickly into advance for more acceleration. AND more unburned gas exiting the tail pipe. that is why in 74 and 1/2 the advance portion was discontinued as a way to cut emissions. the mechanical advance was then the sole way the timing advanced in these models lowering the 0-60 times. |
