Vacuum Advance Question...

So I went to try out my new vacume pump the other day and decided to hook it up to my vacume advance on my 360.. When I hooked it up and got no seal what so ever, I figured my vacume advance was bad. So I go to the parts store and they have 4 different dizzy's to chose from, asking about if I have a governer and if so what kind?...my question is, how do I tell if, and what kind of governer I have. This is a 76 hi-boy with a pretty much stock 360 4v holley 4150. Any help is awesome!!!!!

Vacuum Advance Question...

Can you give me the distributor number?

It's the D6TE-12127- ? number suffix, I'm looking for.

Btw, I changed the spelling of Vacuum so future user searching the threads will find it.

Vacuum Advance Question...

I've tried to help you with specific information.
Ford has certain specs for each thing they make.
Some can get you by,some can't.

It's now your choice.

Distributor number with Vacuum Advance Motorcraft application number

D5TE-12127-EA = DD-719

D5TE-12127-PA = DD-730

D5TE-12127-ZA = DD-730

D5TE-12127-ASA= DD-721

All these dizzie's share the same Cap,Rotor,Module,Stator,Armature, Coil & SERVICE dist.

The ONE thing they do not share is the same Vacuum Advance.

I would suggest looking close to see what dizzy you have.It is on the Main Body where the spring clips are held on.

Vacuum Advance Question...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 04-Oct-02 AT 10:25 PM (EST)]ok. I looked on the housing Behind the clips and the only # I found was a 12127, right above the word motorcraft I looked very closely around the top rim around to the other side and behind that clip too and from what I can tell there are no more numbers.I Guess I will just have to pull it out and look closer. Thank you for you paitence, I know I will get this resolved.
