OPTIONAL VACUUM ADVANCE LOCKOUT
If you do not want to use the vacuum advance canister of the
MSD Distributor, MSD has supplied the distributor with a lockout
mechanism. The Lockout bolts in the position of the vacuum
canister and will hold the pickup assembly firmly in place. The
installation is easiest with the distributor out of the engine.

1. Remove the two Allen head screws that hold the advance
canister (Figure 14).
2. Remove the snap ring that holds the magnetic pickup assembly
in place. This is easy to do with a set of snap ring pliers by
straddling one of the reluctor paddles.
3. Gently lift up on the mag pickup plate and slide the vacuum
canister out.
4. Install the Lockout Plate in place of the canister. Install the two
retaining screws.
5. Install the supplied screw and washer through the Lockout and
tighten. It is important to make sure the pickup plate is
parallel with the housing of the distributor (Figure 15). If
it is cocked or slanted, the paddles of the reluctor may
contact the pickup. Check the clearance by rotating the
distributor shaft. If necessary, use the supplied shims
under the Lockout hold-down to correctly position the
pickup plate.

7. Install the distributor, rotor and cap. Check the timing
when complete.

hose.
