passenger side- you only want your distributor to advance when the engine is sucking in more air, not at idle.

I prefer to use the vacuum at idle port if possible. If it surges on idle or barely above or if its an auto trans & drops down a lot when you put it in gear than I go to the ported vacuum side.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
