Vacuum chamber for ignition advance, which overpowers ignition retard chamber, will be activated by switch-over valve whenever the following conditions are met: Oil temperature below 77°F will close temperature switch and deactivate switch-over valve. With oil temperature above 77°F and engine speed over 2000 RPM, RPM switch is closed, deactivating switch-over valve.
