On my 67 240 I have decided to remove the Load-O-Matic distributor and install a conventional mechanical advance unit to match the non-Load-O-Matic carb. I noticed that the vacuum advance diaphragm on the new distributor has hose nipple instead of the compression fitting like the old one had.

Anybody have a pic of an original 240 (I assume 68 and up) that shows how the line/hose was configured? I would assume that the steel line from the carb just terminates to a rubber hose to connect to the distributor, but I'd like to be sure to keep it factory appearing.

Thanks!

In converting to the rubber hose where as in your case the hard steel line would be cut off an inch or so at where it screws into it's mounted into the carb or the dizzy unit and the rubber hose pushed onto the cut off steel hard line as a now becomes like a nipple end.
