After all of my smog changes (sucessful), I still have a distrubuter with
a disconnected vacuum retard line and timing set "19 degrees advanced". My
van runs great, and the shop says its probably OK to leave it as is since
its been that way for the past 4 years. Now that the vacuum leaks are
fixed, is it OK? I now don't trust these guys anymore. Am I risking high
temps or damaging the engine?

Thanks,
Walter
