Hooked the timing light up and she was set at 10 deg ATDC, loosened the dist and set it at 10 deg BTDC where the builder had a chalk mark. (Vacuum adv is still disconnected). After making the timing adjustment my vacuum increased to a steady reading of about 17, after adjusting the mix screws I...

Guys it ran pretty well and I noticed a lot more response from the engine but I expected that seeing as how far off the initial timing was. I might try advancing it a little more this weekend when I get the time, Ive just had issues with it dieseling in the past. I'm not sure that Ive heard an...

Just received a timing light and vacuum gauge, plugged everything off and hooked up to full manifold and was getting a steady reading of about 13 1/2 to 14. I knew that was kind of low but not knowing what engine work was done at the time of rebuild I went ahead. Hooked the timing light up...

Finally received my vacuum gauge and timing light, I removed and plugged my timed vacuum and plugged in gauge to full manifold at the base of the carb. I was really initially trying to see if there was a vacuum leak but the needle seemed steady. I took a pic of the gauge after it reached...

Thanks for the info guys, to clarify for you paul the PCV is running from drivers side to fitting at base of the carb. Both the Booster and the PCV are connected to full manifold vacuum at the front and rear of the carb. As far as the PCV and breather cap, is that purchased for the specific...

I was hoping that I could throw up some pics of my current vacuum line setup and could get some feedback if everything is routed correctly. Once I get confirmation that its either correct or not I plan on checking for vacuum leaks. Has anyone employed the cigar method? If so are you blowing...

Really just want some help with the body code and the axel code. Cheers!
