Repir Quesstion: Should I???

Barring a differing reply from a CA-Terc owner, that would seem correct.
See: http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/09 ... oPages.htm
Second item, fig.2, vac diagram for CA cars. Check out the drawing of the distributor at the top of the diagram's link...

Thanks, the diagram helps. I think it's the distributor, there's vacuum to it, but it's not advancing. I have another distributor, but I pulled off the hoses before looking at them. There's the two places to put the hoses right next to each other, and one below them. I can't tell from the diagram, but does anyone know which two to connect the two hoses to if I don't have the HAC.
Thanks....

Same AZ/CA diagram, but lower illustration - check the distributor and its lines/their connections in the lower right.
I forgot, also - does your car still have the under-hood stickers showing the pertinent emissions info? You might take a digital photo of them, stick 'em in the 'puter and clean them up - that is what I did with Goldie's, as they were wrinkled.
Once you hook up - I'd suggest buying some tubing and replace all of the tubing piece-by-piece (one at a time - ask me why...).

I just found the vacuum diagrams in the repair section, and I have a California car.

I have a Cal car too...and it has 2 diaphragms...I also have 2 Fed spare dists...they have 3.

Is that 3 separate diaphragms or 2 diaphragms with one vac nipple on the diaphragm closest to the dist and 2 nipples on the diaphragm that is farther out. The later situation is what I have been seeing on Terc's most often as the Standard Motor Products part # VC360 vac advance assy. is sold in that configuration for both CA and FED Terc wagons.

That's what I meant...3 vac openings...2 diaphragms for the FED.

Or better yet. Bring it up here to the rust belt for me. I'll give it a not so good home

All you'd have to do is show it that picture of your old Tercel carcass and that poor little wagon would start crying!

I can see it now, "oh my! The paint is bubbling around my wheel wells!" then "Heavens! There are holes in me! Something must be done immediately!" and "Oh god! What’s happening! I need to go to the body shop right away, I feel as though I can’t hold myself together” “Oh to rust to death in Minnesota! Curse you cruel owner, I see the shredder jaws closing on me now, curse you!”

shonuffisthemaster -
I loved your Wagon Lament - sounds just like HAL in 2001...but a tad more combative.
Clever! Congrats!
