I think I'm having problems with the vacuum advance on my dizzy. Are these easy to replace and if I have to pull the dizzy out are there any attentions to detail that I have to be careful of? I've never done this before. Does the dizzy only go in one way? I'm having problems with climbing hills again because of the mountainous area I live in.

I also just replace the carb with a rebuilt Carter W1-574S that I purchased from ALFA CARBURETORS STOCK in Lynwood, CA. Don't know if that carb is giving me the issue or not. Have all new S/S fuel lines from the tank to pump and then to carb.

I'm having serious trouble with the timing all of a sudden and am wondering if its the vacuum advance not functioning correctly at the distributor.

What does it sound like to you folks?

I'm very annoyed at the moment!
