Right. I actually own the Tom's electric kit. I just think they look too clunky IMO. And I think the old vacuums look better, by which i mean smaller. I may have to end up installing the electrics.
You should have a small hard line from the passenger side of the carb to the back side of the distributor. Very possible you've got pin holes and rot in the tube up to the wipers in the windshield frame as well, especially if it's original.
Your right, except that the distributor uses straight engine vacuum only to adjust engine timing
Yes, I have the hard line from the intake to the fuel pump. All my hoses are new. But I really should check them all. The old wiper vacuum hose is long gone. I bought a new Gates Rubber hose part number 27040 at OReilly's. That's how I tested the vacuum wipers. Even tho the hose is new, I should clamp it - it went on too easy.
Thanks U13FL735. I guess I am wondering if my fuel pump's vacuum is somehow diminished or cheated somehow - other than leaks. I just need to keep checking all the hoses and tubes and fittings and such.
