DAMN I'm good!
Those things are scarce as hen's teeth and about as useful. They sit in the water jacket and delay the advance vacuum signal until after the engine warms up. (Big whoopie!)
Join the thousans of us that have bypassed it with no ill effects. Go to Auto Bone or Advance and get some vacuum 'T' connectors and plumb them all together. No problems!
Just for archives sake, I'll repeat my answer from the other board, too.
Vacuum and mechanical advance on HEIs are for heavy smog engines...meaning bad for "real" driving. The Crane Cams adjustable vacuum advance kit has a new can (adjustable, of course) and new springs for the mechanical advance. There's others on the market (and I've owned most of them at one time or another) but I think Crane is the best.
