same dizzy and will work just fine, before you connect the vacume advance suck on the pipe on the dizzy and make sure you cant suck air though it. If you can either just use it without the vac advance connected or replace the vacume advance.

Is it on the coil or dizzy i have a bit of black wire on my coil that goes nowhere and my still works fine i would connect vacum advance its not hard just run a tube from a tvs

[V-ahhh]

whats the down side of not running the vacum advance?

Vacuum advance is a system that when the engine vacuum is high, it advances the timing. Basically, when accelerating under load, the engine needs a little more time to burn the fuel. So the spark must occur a little earlier. So it will help fuel economy,power & make the car more drivable.
