I recently installed, using a Clifford open 4 bbl manifold and adapter, a new(not rebuilt)2G on a modified 261. I want to adjust the feeds using vacuum. Admittedly, I am not up to date on a 2G. Where do I pull the vacuum on it. There are 3 nipples on it. Manual choke. Any help or a lead to help would be appreciated.

Usually the dist vacuum advance is taken below the closed throttle plate. This way theres no vacuum advance provided at idle.
As the throttle plate begins to open vacuum is then produced to advance the timing to a point where the mechanical advance takes over.
Good luck

Below the throttle plate is full manifold vacuum. Above the throttle plate is ported vacuum, which increases as the throttle plate opens.

Thanks guys. I did some more Stovebolt searches and pretty sure I have it figured out. If I don't, " I'll be back." smile
