Hello guys (and girls?). I am a newbie and I have a question:
I have a 74 Standard Beetle with a solex 34PICT carb and what looks like an SVDA distributor. The car runs great!!! I have no complaints whatsoever considering the car's performance at idle, at speed, and off the low end. All are fine. I am confused though. There is no vacuum line connected to the vacuum canister on the distributor. How is the timing advancing sans the vacuum source? I haven't driven a bug in more years than I'm willing to admit, but last time I dealt with these sweet little engines the timing was vacuum advanced. What's this new technology that I'm dealing with?
Thanks for your help. Jim
