So do you need the pipe? i have the vaccume advance on Elmos motor (1293) but it is not connected it is just that thing popping out of the dizzy. can i a) just leave the pipe there open b) should i seal it c) should i connect it (the prob there is where abouts does it go to on a HIFF6 carby?) |

Connect it and improve your fuel economy.  (btw, it is spelt vacuum)

As the engine speed increases therre is less time between the up & down strokes, so the firing must be advanced to give time for combustion and expansion. This is done by a centrifugal advance timing mechanism which can be supplimented by a vacuum advance unit. The vacuum advance is operated by a partial vacuum in the inlet manifold. At part throttle, suction pulls on a diaphram. Thiss advances the spark timing by moving the contact breaker points in relation to the cam. With the throttle fully open, there is reduced pull on the diaphram and less vacuum advance. HTH

Do all those with Pulsar Dizzies run vac advance, or leave it off? |

Most of us leave it off- we are running Dellortos or Webers...
In this case just leave it open. If you have an SU, sure you can hook it up- but first make sure the diaphragm doesn't leak. Many do. Suck on the pipe to check. re Scotty's discourse above- the vacuum is connected adjacent to the throttle plate, not directly into the inlet manifold. At full throttle, there is really no vacuum advance at all. At best, it is a part throttle economy device. Racers don't use them, it is just something else that can go wrong. BTW- Cooper S, (& many other A series), Alfa Romeo and Fiat didn't have them fitted. |

steve Maybe? on an antique Lucas, but does not affect spark intensity on a Pulsar (Hitachi) dizzy...

Cooper S didn't have it but the Coopers did (on LH carb). So technically the answer is yes. |
