Title: Factory Correct Vacuum Advance - 1968 Camaro
Post by: gwp4 on May 07, 2024, 04:16:30 AM
Hi Camaro Experts -

I have a 1968 standard base model cpe Camaro 327/210 HP SB manual 3 spd with no a/c.  I'm being judged in the Legends class and need the factory correct vacuum advance.  The original distributor on the car has the number 1111440 with a date code of 8D8 (April 8, 1968).  The car was manufactured on May 14, 1968 so it's correct.  The Legends judging manual for 1967-1968 Camaros does not have the 1111440 distributor number listed.  I believe the vacuum advance should be MS 201 15 but I'm not sure.  Many thanks in advance for the assistance.  gwp4

A lot going on for me but I can try to see what I have. I bet I have 3 dozen or more distributors from 1966 to 1971.

Prior CRG posting about distributors used on the 1968 Camaro:

I haven't found any documentation on the vacuum advance used on the 1111440 distributor and perhaps the information is available if someone has a vintage Delco catalog.

According to my 73 Delco catalog, 1111440 distributor received D1382 Vacuum Control.
