Default No joy with vacuum advance. Still need help

Could someone please show me exactly which ports on the throttle body you connect the vacuum advance and retard to on an 82 five speed? I need to make sure I have them right.

Mine idles and revs perfectly with the VA plugged, but cuts off with it connected while idling. Will not start if connected from off.

It is not drive able with it disconnected, looses all power when accelerating under load.

I replaced the vacuum advance, with no joy.

Please help. This is driving me insane!

Not sure if same but on my 80 928 S 5 speed, the top vacuum line goes to the rear of the throttle body.., and the lower vacuum line goes to the front of the throttle body.

Is the vacuum hose diagram missing from the underside of your hood?

It's there, but starting from scratch, it was not clear to me. I have asked several times on the forum, for just a picture of someone's, or a drawing....I have been through the WSM on my iPad about 50 times with not much luck. Finally dug out my printed version, and found what I needed...finally!

You were right Ken, advance on the back, retard on the front.

Thanks!
