Based on industry interchange data and Sorensen vacuum control listings, the
VC-319 and
VC-566
are vacuum advance controls primarily designed for older General Motors
vehicles, typically featuring V8 engines with HEI (High Energy
Ignition) or conventional distributors, spanning pre-2010 models (mostly
1970s–1980s).

unit often interchanges with other VC series units for similar GM
applications, including high-performance and standard distributor
setups.

Standard Motor Products brands), these parts primarily fit American-made vehicles from the 1960s through the early 1990s.
