Why does your 76 nova not stall when you remove the vacuum line from the distributor?
It won't. That vacuum line tells the distributor When to advance the timing. There isn't enough vacuum loss to stall an engine.
Ignition timing for 1600 beetle?
I really depends on what distributor you have on the engine. It could be a mechanical advance distributor or a vacuum advance distributor (stock). Google "the Somba" Volkswagen forum and all will be explained.
What is a vacuum advance mechanism?
A vacuum advance mechanism is a component in a distributor that uses engine vacuum to advance the timing of the ignition system. This helps improve fuel efficiency and engine performance by adjusting ignition timing based on engine load. By advancing or retarding the ignition timing, the vacuum advance mechanism optimizes combustion for varying driving conditions.
How do you change the distributor on a Ford truck?
Rotate engine to TDC Intake Stroke Remove Distributor cap Remove vacuum line to vacuum advance if equipped Remove horsehoe type clamp on side of distributor Lift out distributor
How do you adjust the vacuum advance on a ford 302 distributor?
>you don't adjust the vaccuum advance. you adjust the distributor. then when engine is running the vaccuum advance will work automatically to the needs of the engine< As a matter of fact, the Ford vacuum advance is easily adjustable. Put a 1/8" Allen wrench through the open of the vacuum advance canister where the vacuum hose goes. Screw it in to slow the rate of advance and screw it out to speed it up. I think it works on a spring preload system.
Does hei distributor require vacuum advance?
A High Energy Ignition (HEI) distributor does not strictly require vacuum advance, but incorporating it can enhance engine performance and efficiency. Vacuum advance helps improve fuel economy and throttle response by adjusting ignition timing based on engine load. While many HEI systems can function without it, using vacuum advance is generally recommended for optimal performance in most applications.
Can you run lean distributor without vacuum?
Yes, you can run a lean distributor without vacuum advance, but it may lead to suboptimal performance. The vacuum advance helps adjust ignition timing based on engine load, improving efficiency and reducing emissions. Without it, the engine may experience timing that's too advanced or too retarded under varying conditions, resulting in rough running, poor fuel economy, and increased engine heat. It's advisable to tune the distributor carefully if operating without vacuum advance for better performance.
Does the vacuum advance get constant vacuum or not?
Manifold vacuum usually. There may be some instances where someone reworked a distributor to arrive at a specific timing curve under load using ported vacuum with the vacuum advance, but this would be rare as most people would re-curve their distributor by changing advance weights and springs and would limit the advance built into a distributor so they could use more initial timing without having the total timing go over 36-40 degrees when the engine is revved up and all advance is in.
Why is vacuum advance on distributor hitting the intake manafold on small block Chevy?
The distributor is off a tooth or two. You can pull the distributor out and turn the rotor a little and put it back in. Then re-time the engine.
Vacuum advance hook up on 63 Chevy 283 engine?
There should be a vacuum source on the carb above the throttle body that gives spark ported vacuum. You can connect a tube from this source to the distributor.
How do you replace the vacuum advance on a 1970 Pontiac V8?
Remove the distributor cap. Remove the hose to the vacuum advance. Remove the two screws holding the vacuum advance on. Install in reverse order.
