I noticed last night the hose that runs to my vacuum advance on my distributor is missing. I've looked in my Chilton book but I cannot find anything showing where it would connect to. Anybody have an idea? Thanks Specs: 225 D100 1945 Holley A833OD |

There will be a small port on the base of the carb. It should have vacuum only when the trottle is open a little, but not much or any at idle. If you get really stuck, I'll pop the hood on my wifes car and take a pic, but someone might also have a link to a diagram for you. |

Are you sure that your distributor /has/ a vaccuum advance? By '85 most (if not all) of the trucks had switched over to the Spark Control Computer, which had no advance on the distributor. |

It is Stryker, to my understanding only a few were produced. |

In that case, take your vaccum gauge and find a 'ported' vaccum source on the carb. This is one that is taken above the throttle blades, so vaccuum actually increases with RPM. Run a hose from there to the dist. and you should be in business. |
