Re: Vacuum timing

I did try the manifold vacuum today and it was the same result. I haven’t given up on it yet. I changed a bunch of things on the carbs and ignition. Different springs and advance stop in the msd. The carbs I did bigger accelerator pumps, different power valves, squirters, and main jets it made a huge difference. No more lean popping and got it to idle at lower rpm. So I’m getting closer and it’s definitely fun to drive. I did drop the timing down to about 16deg. If I had more daylight to mess with it I was thinking about dropping the timing a bit and trying the advance canister again. Now that it’s idling better my vacuum at idle is about 9-10hg. I noticed that the vacuum canister I have is a b26 which I believe is rated around 10 for vacuum. I want to try a different canister or find a adjustable canister
