Wow.
Thanks a bunch michael!
I'm with Stuart. If you ever need clear space on the bookself, maybe Stuart and I could thumb wrestle for them.
Yesterday I went though my parts and found a vacuum advance on one of my other distributors. I pulled the vacuum line off so that I could test it, and found that the problem was with the line, not the unit itself.
I should have caught that. The line wasn’t threaded correctly and was leaking around the threads.
Anyway, now my vacuum is holding steady (relatively) at about 19psi and is running much better at higher rpms.
Its nice to know that someone out there still has those parts books. I think NAPA must have had a book burning day at some point because I get a lot of "I can’t find that"(s). It's frustrating, because when I was a kid (I had a 52 in high school) they seemed to have most everything, and usually in stock. One would think that as they move into computer searches, they'd be able to cross refence in a heart beat.
Someone needs to invent a quicker method of scanning so that parts books can be added to the old car manual site.
I’ll be bringing home a 28 sedan this summer; I have no idea were I’ll find parts for that. I guess thats part of the challenge smile
Thanks again,
