It is an auto lite but it still looks like the distributor spins to the vacuum…as far as I can tell…as it is now the distributor when installed freely rotates to the left maybe an 1/8 th of a full turn before it stops… I can’t see any arm going into the distributor.?

Was able to get vacuum removed…. I thought the vacuum moved an arm within the distributor attached to vacuum advance….on mine it appears that the vacuum arm is bolted to a adjustable arm that then rotates the actual distributor body? Is that correct? Or a. I missing something? I thought the arm moved and was related to the spring mechanism within the distributor …my first time doing this ….I don’t think this vacuum has ever worked since I’ve owned it I. Early nineties …it is definitely not working…any advice prior to my new unit arriving would be great!!!

Took breaker plate off and it appears springs and everything is in good shape and moves freely…doesn’t move much but I don’t know how much it should move

Finally back working on Packard…bought vacuum pump and attached to vacuum unit attached to distributor…. It does not hold any vacuum..needle does not even move when pumping and no movement in distributor…. I’m assuming I need to replace vacuum unit…any guidance would be appreciated tks

Another issue I’m confused with is the car has Manuel choke knob that runs to throttle cable then disappears under firewall…this seems to function but my carb is an automatic choke Carter wa 530s…so I guess I thought I shouldn’t need a choke cable?

No change I’d sound when choke plate moved….I do have a pretty good kink in the vacuum line from carb to distributor …I have a new one coming in and will replace just to make sure that’s not the issue…if not back to carb…..
