For helping keep this great
old truck web site

Only reason I have 8 volt battery is the old man at Napa sugguested it over 6 volt, but it had no problem starting with the old worn out 6 volt I did have in it. After reading this site wish I would have never bought 8 volt but for now Im going to use it until I can get this problem solved first, then I'll purchase correct 6 volt.
I do not fully understand the "vacuum advance" and I do not really know how to tell if distributor is good or bad and I do have a new coil (no difference in new and old). Should you be able to turn distributor body (part right below cap) when the engine is off? Or should the distrubutor body be fixed?
I do hear a pretty loud suction noise right when I hit the gas that seems to come from the Distributor area/vaccum advance area, so I will check this out and also the wiring. If someone could explain vaccumm advance (like its function and how to fix it) to me or point me in right direction I would be much appreciative.
Thanks Kurt, and glad to hear from a fellow NC native even though your a Wolfpacker. | | | |
