Our BVU Delco D204 advance unit
replaces the old Delco advance/retard and retard units

Duel advance & retard

<

We are working on a new vacuum unit for supercharged cars!

Lucas DM2P4, DM6, 22D6, 25D4 & 25D6 
You run your required mechanical advance. Possibly now a few more degrees!
Using manifold vacuum as a source, under boost “pressure” the vacuum unit retards the timing the 2, 4 or 6 degrees as required.
High speed cursing "not under load", manifold vacuum regulates vacuum advance.
This vacuum unit has a fixed center with pressure retard and vacuum advance all in one.
Contact me if interested.
