6571 'Bolter 6 Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 212 Winston, Ga.	I have a 55 235 in my 58 and mine was doing the same thing but worse on hills. I ordered a new vacuum advance and installed it . Runs like a brand new engine with lots of pep and could tell a world of difference in pickup.I ordered my advance unit from Obsolete Chevrolet. I would pull a vacuum test on the advance unit first before buying one.
