Again, there are many other factors here. What carb do you have on? Many of the earlier carbs are made to work with a distributor that has vacuum advance only. A mix of these is bad news.Vintage man wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 12:42 pm Bus running lekker ,in the garden,wish I could take it for a drive.

Only concerns I got now is no vacuum on idle but just as you take it of idle there is vacuum.Is this normal?
The other one is when I connect my dwell angle terminal to the coil it shocks me and never done that before what could cause this.
Once again appreciate all the advise from you guys.
Have you verified this distributor has the correct vacuum canister? Again, it may have been swapped in its previous life and is completely incorrect.
Incorrect timing, especially if its over advanced = pre-detonation = hole in pistons
