Kool!

That makes sense, those are the lines that I have just dangling around.
Interesting.  I wonder if its important...

The Bentley is really unclear about which cars have what and what hoses go
where.

I have the vaccuum advance plugged into a vaccuum port on the throttle body,
upstream from the throttle plates.  Hope will work too.  Vaccuum is vaccuum,
right?
