Do you have the hoses hooked up to the wrong vac port??

Or is it not still vacuum triggered?

we have the top vacuum hose hooked to the T that feeds to the two out boards and the lower port below it hooked to a vacuum advance to the distributor .  That the way it was before when it was running perfect , and thats the way every one has told me it should be  ?

Thats the opposite of how we have them on the Bee and that thing runs great.

a couple years ago we worked on a real A12 road runner and it did what youres is doing, We switched them around and it was fine .....I don't remember which way it was though.  :brickwall:

moparstuart

 We almost had a major set back last night . had some wiring get hot and burn the fuseble link and some starter relay wiring.  This new dash wiring harness has just been a total nightmare has way to much stuff we diodnt need and two wires rub together that where not in used and of course they where hot !!    Lots of smoke and blacked inner fender and under hood , took me a couple hours but all it taped off and rewired .  Still need to clean the black stuff off . Alcohol? maybe ?


   jeez what else will go wrong next    :popcrn: :popcrn:  cant wait to find out  :smilielol:

   i just bought this vaccuum pump from summit , should do the trick for me .

Little pricey. Hope it does the trick.
269.00  at summit . but they make them as expensive a 1200.00

  and if it works i think 269.00 is well worth it to have brakes !!!

vacuum pulls the carbs OPEN, so more vacuum isn't the answer?

Quotevacuum pulls the carbs OPEN
i

i  always thought vacuum keeps them closed. at heavy throttle there is less vacuum then at idle . thats why they open .

  for brakes all you would need is a dedicated vacuum cannister . my rod has a real big cam  and power brakes . go vacuum source to canister then to power brakes and secondary carbs . it has to be dedicated just to those two things   . works well. and a lot cheaper then a pump .
