Hi guys.
My vacuum advance went south.
I have a 60 235 in my 53. I don't know if it came out of a car or truck (any way to tell?)
Anyway, I went down to Napa and struck out on a replacement; their books only went back to 63. I tried Autozone. I don't think they're aware trucks existed prior to 83.
Does anyone happen to have the part number?
Thanks much,

Well allow me to get out me trusty(and dusty) parts books.....
According to my Echlin(NAPA) book #103 dated 9/82
the correct vacume advance for a '60 Chev truck 235cid eng.(all except forward control) would be a VC-500
Now we turn to my trusty Standard Blue-Streak book...... The number Standard lists for the same application is a VC-13 vacuum unit.
Also according to the NAPA(Echlin) interchange the VC-500 NAPA # is the same as the VC-13 Standard #......
Now for the final test..... My huge (10in thick) DELCO REAMY book......
Here I find that for 1960 chev. truck a dist. #1112403 (group 107-A) was used with a vacuum control #1116089.
Group 107-A referes me to the illustrated complete break-down page where I find ALL parts and part numbers for the dist. listed...
Now as I cross the DELCO number it confirms that the Echlin and the Standard ##'s are both correct.
Now if your eng happens to be out of a car, the corrisponding dist. number would be 1112403 (gp 107-A) with the vacuum control being # 1116140.
Now the Delco vacuum control number 1116140 for the CAR dist. (sorry to say) does NOT cross over to either a NAPA(Echlin) or a Standard Blue-Streak number....
Now if by chance? You happen to have a distributor with a different DELCO number than what I've listed..... Feel free to drop me a note with the actual number from your dist. and I'll look it up in my DELCO bible... and my STD and NAPA books to see what we can find
I hope this helps
