Vacuum advance is handy for pulling in lots of extra idle advance but given the small diameter caps mopars use, if you already have a lot of initial timing it can actually cause a misfire by firing on the next adjacent post. My thinking is vacuum advance on a mildly tuned street car but mechanical ...

I so need to bring the new engine up there for a run.
My work patterns tend to clash on a Wednesday but one day soon !!!

Not seen that (although I remember the fire) - nice reel Derek.

Yeah - I am def leaking.
Brimmed it at the weekend but came straight back rather than burning off a bit first - garage stunk of petrol and sure enough a little pool. Pretty sure its the sender seal. Gonna have to burn off a full tank before I can drop it though...

Most people seem to remove it by ...

How come I dont look any older ?? Oh. Right... ahem !

I think you were telling me the Chally was on its way back together Gav ?

I got car in 2006 and those wheels were gone in 3 months so I know it must have been 20yrs... wow. I mean WOW.

The BMW for me.
They have just got better and better looking - I can’t explain it.

I've had multiple goes at this over different motor and ignitions. The current motor is the only one I've been able to run vac advance on - but whilst I can see it knocks the idle timing wildly I cant say I notice any driving difference to when its locked in. It certainly aint economical :-k

Pre-mix. Fleuro yellow.

Had 2 lots of Prestone in the new engine and it seems to go rusty real fast - its now brown opaque rather than bright yellow.
I do have Ally heads now - so wondering if if got the hump with that somewhere down the line.
Rad /block was flushed etc prior to install.

Twins have been busy...

Immediate thought is "Change it anyway" - just sitting they take on moisture etc - I change mine at LEAST once/yr.
Sometimes it comes out clear ! Less than the price of a fill up - its small beans. Just change it anyway.

I knew they were big bucks but that one must have a premium for being ex-Bobby Rahal

That'll go higher yet. They are $1M cars now.

Sold for USD995,000 so Morgan was only 5k off.

Aw dammit. I only had $990,00
