Hi,timinator wrote:Hi Chris,There are other ways to limit vacuum advance. Could you put up a picture of the distributor without the cap on. Also a pic of the vacuum canister off the point plate. Fixes range from a short piece of vacuum hose on the actuator rod, or a vacuum bleed, to building a vernier.Shame I don't have an adjustable vacuum advance with an Allen key
not sure when I'll get the chance to do this now as the misses is busy using the car and summer is over so no access to the beach house for easy access to the engine.
vacuum bleed could be an idea. possibly using some simple fish tank air pump valves I have. I have a vacuum gauge and can experiment with that to reduce the vacuum somewhat. No need to remove the distributor for this.
It has lost some of the initial power below 1500 rpm due to the vacuum disconnected.
Thanks
