Distributor help needed
I have an unmodified 81sc. While replacing my blown airbox, i have been doing a lot of neglected maintenance. One discovery is that the Vacuum Can (2 way actuation, both advance and retard) on my distributor is totally shot. The activator arm is frozen and will not move in either direction. Applying vacuum to either of the nipples does nothing. The retard side of it seems to be clogged full of rust and the nipple is loose in the hole. I don’t believe it can be salvaged.
Given that the correct VC is NLA and the cheapest used one i can find is like $600, is there an acceptable alternative. I live in a state where there are no emission requirements for my car and have read that the RETARD FUNCTION on the device is primarily for meeting emission requirements.
Can i use some other model of Vacuum Advance or is there another solution to replace it altogether.
