Default Vacuum Advance-Need Part Numbers

Cant seem to find locally the vac advance cans that were available before. Seems the part numbers have changed or gone obsolete??

Looking for the VC1810, VC1765 etc for POINTS dizzy.

I have Lars paper, just need new part numbers or where to buy. Also any feedback if his vac can is available with the advance stop, and how good it works?
TIA, Mike

Try Rock Auto. I've purchased B26 and B28 cans from them. I have a spare B28 if that's what you're looking for. Lars' limiter works very nicely.

Thanks, but I still cant find a VC1810 or 1765 on rock auto either.
Might have to take you up on the B28

FWIW, my 350 has Dart heads, 13-14 in vac, 235-245 roller cam

I got mine from O'Reilly. They were ordered with the VC numbers.

You can find a new B-26 can on ebay under Standard Motor Products VC181. I just got one for my 69 and it has the B-26 stamp right on the frame and tests out perfect. You might also find one under BWD or Borg Warner V-375. Napa Echlin number is VC1765 but the SMP VC181 will get you there.

VC1765 is available from any NAPA store. If your local NAPA is staffed by idiots, you can get the parts from MyPartsGarage Auto Parts. My paper lists all of the sources, and the availability, of all the part numbers listed.

The advance limiter that Henry and I are selling works perfectly, exactly as reported by all the major magazines testing it.

Directly from me. Just drop me an e-mail and I'll send you an info package. The limiters work really well, so it's worthwhile to install.
