Because I am going back to Manual choke and throttle, I believe I don't need the vac adv anymore. Is this true? If so, do I just disconnect the line from the vac adv to the choke and plug the hole?

It advances the timing at the distributor. It is necessary on a stock engine. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 84 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 84 | Yeah I'm dumb. I had this idea in my head (without looking) that my Rochester B didn't have a vacuum line.
Thanks for putting me back in line. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | You most definitely need the vacuum advance hooked up.
You will no longer need the stove plate and heat tube that hooks to the BC carburetors choke.
