Re: At what RPM does your 350 SBC idle?
My vacuum advance has a ruptured diaphragm. While I had the distributor out to shim the shafts end play,I was cleaning up the weights and springs when I actuated the cans control arm with a screw driver and about an ounce of varnished gasoline shot out of the nipple connection. The leak developed soon after. I could hear a slight whistling under the hood while I was driving down the freeway. Eventually found it and capped the can and port on the carb. The engine ran cooler and smoothed out after I adjusted idle mixture screws and reset the idle speed screw.I've been meaning to replace it,but rather than replace only the can I'm gonna get one of those H.E.I. tune up kits that comes with:cap,rotor,matched coil and module,new pickup/capacitor/harness,weights,springs,adjustable can,low resistance carbon button. Pertronix and proform both have them between $80- $125. But I have a leaking brake booster that's giving me a headache and another list of symptoms.so that's on my to do list today,replace booster and all three rubber brake lines so I only have to bleed the system once. Then I think see an improvement in my vacuum gauge reading which is right about 16" Hg with a slight fluctuation of the needle at idle.
