Well it is finally time to put everything back together! So here is the first hurdle that I have come across. Old vacuum advance was bad, engine rebuilder found me a replacement. It is the universal one that everyone has on their sites. I have no issue with it. The issue that I have is that the clamp to the Distributor will not work with this Vacuum Advance.

My old VA sat at a roughly 30 degree angle from the engine. The new one is inline with the engine.

" First question is "What is this Called?"

Second question is "Where do I get this part?"

I didn't see it listed on either Jim Carters or Chevy's of the 40s websites.

As always THANK YOU in advance. I am ever so Grateful for this wonderful source of knowledge, support and wisdom
