Help Please with carb

Is the vacuum advancer on the distributor working correctly?

as far as I can see the octane selector moves when accelerating so I thing it works. but correctme if wrong... tomorrow I will check the timing again

 

[Andrest2003]

mine didn't and I could smoke the meats...check for vacuum leaks, adjust the valves, do a compression check, rebuild the carb. If you have an EGR, I'd say that was your huckleberry, but I dont see one- dont think you have one..the vac advance not working didn't cause stumbling or poopy running at midrange, just less advanced advance. and regardless, I can run my vacuum advanceless 2F up thru 4 grand and it doesn't stumble anywhere(no smog).

intetesring... I will check for the advance of the advance well I havd taken apart the carb 4 times know and I suspect the problem is not there.

Have you started the engine in the dark to check for a loss of spark?

Was the secondary gasket in the carburetor okay or replaced? Simple things first...

Hey Andre, any news on the carb problem?

 

[Andrest2003]

Well, I finally solved the problem, I bought a carburetor kit and replace everything inside, and the problem is gone also replaced the distributor bolt and set timing correctly.
Thank you so much guys!
