VW Beetle distributor problem

This is my 1966 Bug. The engine is a 1500 from a '66 Bus, at least that's what the case says. 30PICT-1 dist, 009 vacuum distributor (the stock one). I think the narrative sums it up. It runs at full advance all the time.

@hp11208 I'm sorry, what are you asking?

[Sigurd82]

Again folks, I have fixed this. It WAS the port on the side of the carb. I cleaned out the carbon cake and it advances properly.

If you get a chance, maybe make a vid, and point out what port you're talking about specifically. Just so we can get a visual.

[Sigurd82]

Can't. Motor's not in the car anymore. Proper advance will be seen on the timing light. When the motor is revved, the light will climb clockwise on the pulley.

Thought I would let you know that I fixed this. The port on the side of the carb was almost completely blocked with carbon deposits. I cleaned it out with a tiny file and it works perfectly now. And yes, the hose was hooked up to the side of the carb.

you are missing the metal vacuum tube. it is designed so that condensation does not get into the vacuum canister

My bad just found the silly next button for the comments.... I'll check for carbon tomorrow.... Thanks again...

[bigrich424]

I am having the same problem.... Did you ever get it figured out?

so i guess your vacuum canister isn't working right. you can buy new vacuum canisters.
