Rebuild Vacuum Advance and Timing Qn...

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone rebuilt one of the original style vacuum advance for the 62-65 V8's?

The vacuum advance crapped out on my dual point, and I can only find 
stamped style 1 piece replacement units for the car.

I would really like to keep it looking as original as possible, and dont 
want a 1 piece.

Looking for someone who has rebuilt one, and need an idea as for what 
materials to look for.

Also, what to set timing to while this is out.  Right now, I advanced 
timing about 15 degrees, over the 12 degrees I had it set to.  Total 
advance at 5700 RPM with the mechanical advance actuated is currently at 
about 34.  Sound right?
