Very Low Vacuum

This is where I'm going to leave it for now, because the car needs LOTS of other work before it's driveable:

I tried it with the plate holes open again, it runs better with them plugged, and the secondaries cracked. The holes are 9/64, probably too big.

I took 7* out of the dist., it has 22 initial now, 35 total. It would probably like even more initial. (BTW, no vac advance.)

The idle is stable now, much better. Thanks all!

When it's driveable, I'll tune further (If I can figure out AJ's theories, lol.) It has a 727 w/ manual shift and a 3500ish convertor that I'm sure will change things when I put it in gear. (No driveshaft, see below.)

Now, I have a 9" w/ ladder bars and coil overs, front floor pans, and subframe connectors to do. I have all of that stuff. I also need to get a roll bar, no cash right now.

All of the running gear came out of a D150 "Pro Street" pickup that I bought totaled. It's been fun so far, can't wait to drive it! I'm guessing it's 1000lbs. lighter than the D150, and that ran well!
