Good eye.

Who is national? Ford and GM manufacturer vehicles in Canada and Mexico. Toyota and Honda manufacturer vehicles in the United States. Chrysler was owned by a German company last time they were involved in NASCAR. Now Chrysler is Fiat Chrysler with headquarters in Italy. Should Chrysler be...

Might need to reduce the total that the vacuum can can supply.

Are you asking how quickly does the vacuum canister change timing relative to the engines change in vacuum?

I'm probably guilty of this myself, but it would make it easier for me to understand your post if when you write about advance you could add the word vacuum, manifold, ported or mechanical in front of advance. That way we are on the same page.

You can see the point where ported vacuum starts (Door opens) with a single vacuum gauge hooked to the port on your engine in the shop or put your finger over the port and feel it. Don't take my word for it. Often I'm wrong and or intentionally mislead people.

This is a 750 brawler. The picture shows the relationship between the ported vacuum signal hole and the throttle plate. The view is from the top of the carb looking down. The port for the source of lies directly above the throttle plate. Think of the throttle plate as a door blocking manifold...

Not saying this is the only way or even the right way but this is how I would approach it. First I would find the timing curve that the motor wants for full load wide open throttle. lets say at 2500 it wants 25 degrees at 3000 it wants 30 degrees and 3500 to 5000 it wants 34 degrees. Next...

I see this a little differently. To me, vacuum advance is not just an economy measure it's an efficiency measure. Two byproducts of more efficiency are better economy and more power. If a motor wants 30 degrees of timing at 3000 rpm under full load wide open throttle and you only give it 26...

Can we agree on this. It's a bit of an oversimplification. 1. Engines require a specific timing based on rpm to operate at peak efficiency. 2. Engines require a specific timing based on load to operate at peak efficiency. 3. Engines require a specific timing based on the combination of load and...

I should have quoted Rusty on this reply.

I felt the same way you do until I hooked up two vacuum gauges (of similar calibration), one to manifold vac and one to ported vac. I ran hoses through the window and taped the gauges to the dash where I could see them both then went for a drive. I suggest you not take my word for it and see it...

Since the vacuum signal to the vacuum canister is the same at part throttle with ported vacuum as it is with manifold vacuum I was looking at the variables (canister adjustment and diaphram condition) as the potential cause for the change.

I'll try to get it right this time. After turning the adjustment screw full clockwise Idle timing increased to 40 deg. and idle time w/out vac remained at 20 deg. 20 deg. initial is where you had it set prior to replacing the vac. adv. So the assumption is the mechanical advance curve...

If I have this correct. After replacing the vac adv. idle timing was at 30 deg. connected to manifold vacuum. 20 deg. at idle w/ out vac. After turning the adjustment screw full clockwise Idle timing increased to 40 deg. and idle time w/out vac remained at 20 deg. Your observations were that...

Ironic. lol. if I was myopic I would have been able see the what you wrote. Hope you had as good laugh at my reading error as I did.

Dear friendly mopar enthusiasts. I know what myoptic means. Why are you so angry ?

Why so hostile?

Like you, I would wait for a 340 car. I just did a quick google search so you should fact check these statistics. In 1973 153,255 slant six cars were sold and 11,841 340 cars. while you and I may have chose to wait for a 340 car, it looks like the general public chose slant six cars. Sometime...

Probably a lawsuit resulting from an injury or death.

I had a job at a service station as a tow truck operator when I was going to school so I did a lot of jump starts then. I'm not picking sides between side post or top post but I have had batteries blow up on me twice and both times they were side post. Both times they had the 5/16" head bolt...

You should try Bison.

Not that it matters but from what I could find grass fed beef somewhere between 1% and 4% of beef raised in the US. Mosty corn fed.

That would be me. I will be in charge of deciding what is necessary and what is not. But first i need you to answer a couple of question. 1. What color is your cuda? 2. Can I ride along?

Is it because of all the heavy buildings on it?

Don't forget a rising sea level takes what once was cheap inland property and converts it to expensive ocean side property. It's a win win for everybody.

Yes. Lithium mining is a horrible practice. That's why I have pledged to do something about it. I refuse to use Lithium batteries anywhere in my day to day activities. I use only non toxic lead acid and alkaline batteries.

A ban on "excessive travel" wouldn't be necessary if we all had to use a horse and buggy. Fortunately I don't see it happening anytime soon. Any convervion to horse and buggy no matter how bad the government tries to force it on us would be years away. We don't have the infrastructure to support...

I agree. The Ev will probably eventually be replaced by something. Maybe the horse and buggy.
