Re: Restoring Rusty

correct me if I am wrong ladies and gentlemen but I measured the vacuum nipple on the carb for the vacuum advance and I came up with 3/16ths, I got the same measurement on my distributor fitting

yet when I went to O'Reilly's and Pep Boys they had the following lines

5/32

7/32

7/64

now if I use my slide ruler and protractor and convert these so that we are talking apples and apples mine would be 6/32nds so right dab smack in the middle of the first two, I am not even going to bother with the last one as it is tinnny

so I bought three feet of each of the first two lines, and just as I predicted one be too small the other too big, and when I compare them to my old lines sure as _________ mine is the size right in the middle of those two

you all feel my pain, does that sound about right?
