Testing Vacuum Advance
1. Speed the engine up slowly to the
manufacturer’s specied speed
for this test (often 2000 RPM)
and leave the vacuum line
detached from the distributor.
2. Aim the Timing Light at the timing marks
and turn the timing advance knob on the
back of the timing light up slowly until
the timing mark moves to TDC or 0.
3. Connect the vacuum line
to the distributor.
4. If the timing mark stays still, the
trouble could be a plugged line,
a leaky diaphragm, or a frozen
distributor plate. See a certied
mechanic if the mark doesn’t move.
5. Read the amount of vacuum advance
from the timing marks on the engine.
Compare with vehicle service manual.
Checking Distributor
Cam Wear
1. This test is done after the timing
has been set and the timing
light lines up with the reference
pointer for cylinder number 1.
2. Connect the Timing Light to the spark
plug wire directly opposite (180º)
from the number 1 cylinder on the
distributor cap. See Figure 4.

Note: The opposite cylinder is opposite

3. Start the engine and aim the
Timing Light towards the timing mark.
The reading should be the same as
when the Timing Light was connected
to the number 1 cylinder wire.
If not, the probable cause is a worn out
distributor cam, bushing, or bearing,
or bent distributor shaft. Contact a
qualied service technician for repairs.
