Re: Distributor Cap/Spark Plug Wires
The hissing is coming from the check valve for the headlights. I also looked at the lines again and found no control valve anywhere. The lines that go to the switch are connected, but only the one that opens the lights is plugged in while the line that closes them is unplugged (supposed to plug into the control valve). There are no leaks in the heater or air conditioning system (they don’t work anyways), so it’s most likely coming from the headlights. Since there is no control valve anywhere (and I can’t find a replacement online), I might just go a different route and build my own electric conversion kit so I don’t have to deal with these pesky vacuum systems (unless someone has a control valve for sale, let me know haha).

Remote control valve : ask John Dorsey toroguy@msn.com. He just sold one to me 150 bucks!

Re: Distributor Cap/Spark Plug Wires
For those who have Pertronix EI, is it good and does it last? Would I be fine with the Ignitor I or just go with the Ignitor II? Any benefits from upgrading from points, besides not having to maintain it once in a while?
