wtf is this doing here?

[ianfromma]

i don't know much about carbs...but seeing a hose coming from the carb and connecting to a valve cover bolt looked kinda funny.

My guess would be 1 of 2. Eather the ower was checkin base timing, or they didn't want vacuum advance?:eh:

[SickboySS]

disconnected vaccum advance with a plugged line...that what i've been doing to set the timing on my distributer (same exact thing as that one)

[ianfromma]

so basically it SHOULN'T be there? i think its been there since he bought the car (a year ago...)

should it be going somewhere else?

[Five_leta]

Yeah look at the distributor. The thing with all the plug wire coming off of it. Well there is alittle can it looks like that has a tiny port about the same size as the rubber tubes inside diameter. It goes on that. Bet you the car will run better with it in the right place. Thats just a hunch. Merly a guess from my stand point.:thumbsup:

[Five_leta]

It's right behind your blue areo pointing down. Yeah right there on the distributer. No no yep rightttttttttttt THERE! Yep yep you got it:smokin:

i know what a distributor is shitbrick :flipoff1:

haha, so it goes on that silver thing? its my friends car, not mine. and like i said, i don't know much about carbs. i'll tell him to put it on that thing, and we'll see if it runs better.

thanks for the info :thumbsup:

is there a vacuum advance with fuel injection?

[350Caprice]

it depends.....

my vacuum advance isnt hooked up.....the car runs better without it

[ianfromma]

yea...but you're carbed. is there a vacuum advance with fuel injection?

it depends on the fuel injection system

on some cars its electronic advance

so there mechanical advance, vacuum advance, and electronic advance? :eh:

yup........and combinations of mechanical and vacuum as well.....i cant think of any electronic and and mechanical off hand

[ianfromma]

yes...and you do realize i said i don't know anything about carbs...and i was asking if TPI used vacuum advances. i'm aware that this car does not have tpi. i'm aware that it is carburated (spelled horribly wrong?)

Nop it has electronic ignition. There is not vacuum port goin into the distributer of a TPI motor. Completely Computer controled. They might have a spout connector to pull when you check timing on a 3rd gen TPI motor, that in essance is like pull the vacuum line on the distrubuter in a carb car. The only similarities are pulling both objects out and the timing goes back a few degrees.

I DONT RUN ADVANCE ON MY CAR EITHER:smokin:

just the mechanical for me......i have 26 degrees of mechanical advance all in by 3000

which makes it 42 degrees total timing
