I have been wandering if it would make my 63 SC, 1720 preform any better with a vacuum advanced distributor and late modle split shafts. Opinions?

There isn't enough vacuum in the inlet manilfolds, due to the four carburettor chokes, to

satisfactorily operate a vacuum advance throttle.

What distributor do you have ?

I tried a 050 but was not happy with the acceleration from start, especially picking away up

a hill.

I fitted a 022 and the car was much more "driveable" and picked up more smoothly.

The 050 was a Mexican VW distributor developed to enable beetles to run on alchohol.
