I got the Distributor so I can Carb my Turbo II engine. So do I need to keep the Vacuum advance or can I remove them from the Dizzy?

You can remove it but I doubt it will idle properly if it will idle on its own.Theres only two vaccum lines.I have mine hooked up because the carb has the place to run the too.How much left do you figure you have before its running?Is it all stock other than the carb swap?

The engine is from a Turbo 2, it is internally stock, and I will be running the stock turbo.. I won't be running emissions junk either.. I thought the timing didn't need to be advanced since it is for a turbo engine..

So if I do have to hook them up, what do I hook them up to?

Depends on the carb.Mine has two nipple on top that the vacccum lines run to.Some carbs you just cap off the lines tho.Do you have the Turbo hat already?I read somewhere you were hoping to have it running by the end of the month?Do you think it is still possible?

It is looking Bad... I am short on Money cause I have to pay a traffic ticket, so I will probably delay getting my Weber for another month.. I don't have the hat yet either.. I will get it when I get the Carb..

Probably need a check valve in the vac line so that when the motor is making boost the vacuum advance isn't working in opposite.

if it was me you wanna keep the vacuum advance, because it advances under vacuum under boost it will go back to the base timing. thats the other thing you need to watchout for. the dizzy also has centrifical advance so you need to set the timing at like 4000rpms to something safe 16-18btdc@10psi and 12-15btdc@15psi.
