Can someone post a picture of the vacuum advance

No, it does not have any temp control, The ambient temp switch electical connection controls it.

It is placed on the coil bracket mount. With the electrical connector and vacuum connection facing driver side. Vent filter side has the nipple to distributor advance.

Believe it or not... many forums and even here will have small discussions about disconnecting and using a straight connection to the advance. In other words, hardly any effort in restoration. Mainly because these original type solinoids are no longer being produced, and difficult to find in working condition. This type was last used on 73 AMC engines. 74 on up used two ports on the same side, while this one is a port on each side.

My parts are loose, engine top end disassembled.

I no longer have the harness between the solinoid and the ambient temp switch. Basically the switch has the ports face to the sides of the engine bay, with connector facing the drivers side. The wee square vent filter facing the passenger side valve cover.

I had posted the solenoid as for its overall apperience.

These things are small and burried by wires and what not on most engine pictures. Few if any take a picture of how it looks all setup, but a few who have restored their cars do have a library. You could put out a request on the restoration section, for a picture of the vacuum solenoid mounted with connections for 71 to 73. Mostlikely they will send a pm for privacy.
