Fw: vacuum advance

Hello. When the pedal is depressed, to increase RPM, manifold vacuum drops,
to about 0.  At an idle state, say 800rpm, A good running motor, 8 or 16v,
will carry approx. 16-22 inches of vacuum.  if you were to hook a gauge up
to it, every time you blip the throttle, the vacuum would fall to 0.  hth..

The longer you wait to turn around, the longer your ass will be pointing in
the same direction...  Make a change..
