Hi Paul

There should not be any vacuum at the Distributor, as it is swithched off at
idle.

Mine idles at 750 rpm after it coming back from the garage.

See you at Shuttleworth

Now you've got me hooked, I've always struggled to get an idle I'm happy
with, and have settled for 1000rpm after trying many different options.

Whilst playing and adjusting last weekend I was checking all my vacuum
connection and definitely remember that there was strong suction on the
vacuum advance pipe when I disconnected it. car was running sat on the
drive!

What are all the possibilities this could be and will it solve my
problems???

Cheers

Paul
