I *think* through carquest you can get it rebuilt and they're supposed to rebuild the Vacuum pots, too, but I've never had it done and I'm guessing it's expensive. Might be easier to just find a good used distributor, or a reman unit through NAPA, etc ...
No idea about a substitute... Be nice if somebody found a single diaphragm advancer that worked.

I need help finding one as well, anything new on this front since the thread ended?

This guy shows the generic idea of how one would rebuild.
One more thing: can someone identify the correct advance for a stock 60? Is the stem straight or curved?

Dare me.
It can’t be done. I’ve gutted one and w/ the opposing diaphragms it’s not possible w/o specialized tools. There’s a guy in NJ who rebuilds single diaphragm ones up to the 70’s. He’s the guy who hooked me up w/ the contact in TX who had 50 new ones, that they sold all of us for a wholesale cost of $50 each. Even them, the place in TX said they couldn’t rebuild one.
Surprised a handful or more aren’t still avail by a mudder here who bought many up then jacked the price up. Possibly Cardone can rebuild it... they’re price was what the mudders starting price was...
Shaft is as noted in the photo. This is one of those new ones. For now it’s not for sale... it’s semi promised to someone else once I can get my act together to get it and a diz to him.

I ended up with two total from that shop you found. Neither is leaving my grips.
See attached photo

I don't have either of those and looking straight down the failed smog barrel

Hmmm. So that straight one would work? I saw something like that on eBay when this guy posted his thread. Price wasn’t too bad.

Dare me.
Does your outer port work? You can hook up to that and advance the timing a bit to compensate.
The outer does work, but I dont know if advancing will get me through California smog
Both would work?

Idk about that straight one. I was asking you. Looks like it has a clamp sorta attachment on the side of it. Does it come off so the shaft could be passed thru the side of the pot then reattached once through?
NeverGiveUpYota
Dare me.
And no... I gather if the inner doesn’t work you might not unless you get a tech who doesn’t look close enough. Cap the inner. Give it a shot.
Ok, so here is what I am looking at as a replacement. Any thoughts?
NeverGiveUpYota
Dare me.
Shaft is too short. Is that one off eBay? I saw one that looked just like that but the shafts are definetly different. I’ll measure mine in a few mins and add a photo like yours.
