123 distributor

I just purchased a 123 distributor for my '72 S2 1,3S. This distributor (Lancia-4-R-V) has a metal tube on the side of it where one would connect a vacuum advance hose. The original distributor doesn't have a vacuum advance hose leading to it. So my question is what do i do with this tube?

Attach a short hose to it and blank it off? Connect it to (where)? Other? Can Huib or other answer?

Many thanks,
Joe

How come you did not buy it from this site?

the reason was they had one in stock at mr. fiat 100 miles from me. i paid more for it but didn't have to wait for international shipping

I do hope Lancisti will buy the 123 distributors from this site. I have invested quite a bit in developing the units and providing support. I hope to be able to continue doing so.

Just leave the vacuum connection open. It will then see atmospheric pressure thus zero pressure differential.

There is a donate button at the right top of this page. It might say "doneren" which is "Donate" in Dutch. It takes you to Paypal.

rest assured that if a distributor was in my future it would come from this site. the advice and guidance you provide is well worth the wait for overseas shipping.
thanks for all you do,
