I have owned my bright red 1971 Spitfire for about a year. I have had a few ignition issues lately that I won't bore you guys with. However, while looking for distributor parts online I realized that all of the diagrams showed vacuum advances attached. I don't have one.
Now, I think my car runs OK. The top end seems weak, but I don't remember how my 1974 ran all those years ago, and I have owned alot of modern high performance import cars since then. My Triumph certainly doesn't want to rev like my Acura TL or Audi A4, but I don't expect it to.
Would a vacuum advance improve this or would it improve some other performance attribute that I haven't noticed.
My Spitfire is fitted with a Weber down-draft carb and Pertronix ignition. Any advice or experiences with this would be greatly appreciated.
