[DeTomaso] Mechanical or Vacuum advance distributor

[wkooiman at earthlink.net]

vacuum advance - hands down

When you are not under a load (relatively high vacuum), your power-valve is closed, your a/f mixture is lean, and your "burn" is slower, so you need more advance.

With vacuum advance, you run cooler, quieter, and you burn less gas.

>Hi:  Any input would be great.  I am at the point where I need to buy a new distributor.  I would like any advice you can share.  I am leaning toward a vacuum advance distributor.  The car will only be street driven and the engine is a roller motor with aluminum heads and should make an honest 450 hp.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Thanks.
