quickie distributor vacuum advance Q


Recommended Posts

Maybe comparing apples and oranges. But, when I stripped out my manifold on my 82 brat and changed from Carter onebarrel to Hitachi Two barrel I didn't hook the vacuum advance to the ported vaccum on the carb. I used full manifold vacuum off of the manifold. I've had no problems and the brat pulls strong with good low end torque and no pinging.

I'm not debating your comment but I've checked the driveability and power with ported and manifold vacuum and the brat runs better with manifold vacuum. Besides, at fairly low RPM's, vacuum drops off anyway and its all mechanical advance has kicked in. At about 2500 RPM's the advance is topped out.
