WTB- "236" vaccum can for distributor

skyman51 · 08-24-2003, 09:22 PM

I am looking for a "236" vaccum can for a distributor I am currently using in place of my dual point mechanical advance unit on my 62. It is apparently the correct unit for use with a Duntov cam.

Reproductions are available for about $45 from Long Island Corvette Supply if you must have one that is stamped 236 16. If a $6 generic replacement will do, buy a VC-177 form CarQuest (or a VC1810 at NAPA). It will be stamped B28 but it will work the same as a GM "236".

I've got some NOS 236 GM canisters, but the above suggestions are cheaper and just as functional.

Thanks for the info Jerry. I got the NAPA version and will be installing it shortly.
