Vacuum advance

FIXED!
Saturday, first checked the vacuum at the carb port at idle and it was zero. Speeding up the engine created vacuum so that's normal.

The distributor was at about 8* initial but the adjustment slot was maxed out. I wanted to move the under-distributor slot to center the top slot so I pulled the dizzy. Ah ha! The nut holding the points and condenser lead was very loose so I tightened it. Not sure why it was so loose but im thinking I didn't have my small ignition wrenches way back when I assembled the distributor and didn't go back and tighten it later. (My tools were scattered around 3 houses at the time)

I put everything back and bumped the initial to 10 degrees. Hooked up the vacuum hose and speeding the engine didn't cause a misfire.

So I grabbed a Hoodie and went for a ride. First stop was my son's place about 25 miles away. Of course he's a speed demon and drove it harder than I had up to that point. It definitely is not fast but it's acceptable. My daughter in law sat in the back seat for the ride and she liked it.

Stopped at 2 other friends houses in the next county and got home just in time to watch the World Series game. First time I'd seen my buddy John's new 4 post lift and it's a nice one. He had his 69 GTX on it with the corvette under.

I probably put another 80 miles on the Val without issues.
