Is their a diagram of the vacuum hose layout for the 2.0ltr pinto, and what can safely be removed without compromising performance.
On our dizzy there appears two vacuum hoe inlets on the vacuum advance is this correct and wher do the hoses come from. feedback.gif

Don't know if you down under have some emission-equioment fitted as standard but over here we have the vacuumhoses for the brakebooster and the PCV-valve connected to the inlet manifold and a vacuumhose for the ignition-advance connected to the carb (no signal when throttle fully closed, signal when throttle is opened a bit).
If you have 2 vacuum-connections on the distributor then normally this distributor has a larger vacuum-canister and this was used on cars with auto-transmissions.

I think the vacuum canister on the distributor has one port for timing advance, and one for timing retard.
