i have no idea....sorry

Sweet!!!! Good to hear it run!!
The vacuum hose to the distributor vacuum advance can go to any vacuum port located on the intake manifold or the carb base. the pcv line usually goes to the intake manifold if there is a fitting.
I drilled and tapped my stock intake with a extra port since I needed a port for the power brake booster also.
Just about any any place you have a vacuum port. And plug off any extra un-used ports.
I like the way the carb cable turned out.
It looks and sounds great.

Thought I heard a siren in the background of the video at the end, was it your open headers in the middle of the night that caused your neighbors to call 911???

My experience has been not to use a full vac port. You need the signal port on the carb. If you use the full vac port your timing will be full advance at idle. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The signal port is at the base of the carb. If you don't have the manual search the model number of the carb.

Thanks Bubba. Right now I have the pvc line going into the bottom of the carb but I'll put it into the manifold. Damn gotta go cops are here. Too funny I heard the sirens at the end too. Must have been the tube. CSI on spike.

I don't have a manual the carb is a rebuilt. I'll have to do a search.
The 51 chevy I went and looked at the other day was a piece of $hit. I can't believe the guy wanted 650. It was hashed. It's funny because I got kinda lost going to the guys house. I saw a nice 51 sitting on a hill next to this old house. There was'nt any tracks going to the house (it snows here). So I did'nt want to get stuck so I just went bombing passed the house and up the hill to the truck. I was excited the truck was sweet. Long story short. It was the wrong truck, the guy was pissed almost got shot.

Try both ported and manifold vacuum; your engine will tell you which it prefers........I would think on yours use the manifold vacuum, it will give you more advance at idle and better throttle response with that big carb....That's just my opinion.

The stock distributor should have mechanical advance besides the vacuum advance. Always check total advance with a degree timing light. Just a thought.

[daverod]

Off with the old on with the new. Damn that old bumper was ugly, and heavy bet I lost 100lbs. The only thing bad is now you can see how warped my tailgate is. I need to do a little bending.

[jgh64pkup]

looks good now i need to find me one

[Strodder]

In a Truck, loosing 100lbs in the rear isn't always a good thing. It will be harder to hook up, but looks better. Are you going to install a gas tank back there?

I don't think I'm going to mess with the gas tank on this one. My seats seem to fit me fine.

[Strodder]

In the snow you better put some sand bags in the bed for weight.

[daverod]

I don't drive my chevy in the snow. Thats what the rusty F@rd is for. I has 350 lbs of tube sand and good sipped snow tires. It does great in the snow.

[Strodder]

I was going to say use the F*rd in the snow.

[bubba327]

Think spring!! Snow is gone here in South west Idaho and Spring is coming!!! Temperature in the 40'S ----Tee shirt weather

[Strodder]

Rained like hell here, but no snow. A lot up in the mountains though.

[bubba327]

Gee Strodder, that really looks like the Boise Valley and our local mountains.. We have a ski resort with plenty of snow, but the valley snow has gone and now just lots of mud left.
We have a few more trees here in Boise valley. French trappers named it Boise in the old days, it means "The Trees".
It is mainly high desert between here and Dave over in Pocatello about 275-300 miles east. Best seen at a fast rate of speed, or at night!!!!

[watahyahknow]

wow the only vieuw i got are the neighbours curtans

[daverod]

No, we don't want spring yet the snowmachining just got good. And I still have body work to do on my truck. Nice picture Strodder does that windmill power your shop?

So what do your neighbours look like. I guess that could go both ways? I don't really want to know. Unless their hot. Then pictures would be ok I guess.

[watahyahknow]

trust me if she would close the curtans naked i would be shocked and discusted i guess too shes in her 60s

i have seen views like on that picture in the states when i was in arizona and california you have the most awesome wide open spaces there , i live in the netherlands and the saying goes that if you go take a leak in the bushes here you bound to get someone wet

[jgh64pkup]

i wish my neighbors would have left the curtains open
they were 19 year old british twins and partied all the time
too bad they moved
