Dual Diaphragm Distributor: Description

The dual diaphragm unit consists of two independently operating diaphragms. The outer (primary) diaphragm utilizes carburetor vacuum to advance ignition timing. The inner (secondary) diaphragm is actuated by intake manifold vacuum to provide additional ignition timing retard during periods of closed throttle operation. Thereby assisting in reduction of hydrocarbon emissions.
