    1966 289 Mustang with stock engine

    I just fitted a Ford Autolite 4100 carb to my car which has the original distributor. The distributor has a vacuum advance unit on it which is not facilitated by the carb. Which distributor do you reccommend I use, bearing in mind that I do not need a performance one. I just want the engine to run correctly.
    Thanks for your help.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Some might not actually have the tube, but you can drill a hole and JBWeld a piece of 3/16" steel brake tube in there.  Some carbs have a threaded hole for a steel line.

    Hole was there and it had a vacuum too but no tube. All sorted now. Thanks.
