All the measuring paid off. It fit perfectly and now I can roughly set the parts before POR15. Then I can weld it all together.

There is a set screw inside the advance unit that can be turned to limit the advance which I often adjust so you have more timing at idle

He tried several set screws in the opening and concluded that it was a fixed (non-adjustable) vacuum module. Did those electronic distributors come with adjustable vacuum units? Mine is from an electronic conversion kit that was bought in the late 80's, early 90's.

Cannot be certain but sounds like a fuel delivery or mixture issue - filter or carb dirty/clogged, vacuum leak etc.

Engine, Transmission & Rear End / Distributor Vacuum Advance Iss...

Last post by Jay Bee - Today at 06:45:28 AM

While a friend and I were carb adjusting to make my car idle nice he found that the distributor's plate wouldn't budge until 17.5 in/Hg of vacuum. When the distributor was rebuilt and tested advance would start at 7 in/Hg. The vacuum module/diaphragm is fine, holds vacuum no bleeding. The tool he was using is similar to the pictured one. The distributor is a Mopar electronic one.

That's the issue, why does it now take so much more vacuum to get the advance (plate) to start moving? Do those plates eventually bind through time? TIA, John

Cuda & Challenger General Discussion (ROSEVILLE MOPARTS) / Re: Ride height

Thank you for posting it this way. It actually is a little clearer for me. I'm almost at that point where I need to address that problem. The alignment guy wants me to get the ride height correct before he aligns it for the bias-ply tires. Thank you, Joe

Timing or exhaust leak when it gets up to temp? 

As to an exhaust leak. (maybe not) ...  note when it does begin to back-fire it loses significant engine power, and will stumble until I hit the gas harder, which makes the backfires stop and power resume.
