Novice question about vacuum advance line.

The needles and seats are new. They are seated at the same height. They are the same needle numbers as stock. I put new damper springs which are correct type as stock. I matched the drop rate for both dashpots. There is no binding and the carbs are synched at idle and mid-range. The car suspension is currently apart while I wait for shock rebuilds from Peter at World Wide Auto. So, I will need to wait on any changes.

Thanks!

Are you using grose needle/seats or the stock type for the float chambers?

Wow

Up the idle speed and drive it.
 
I guess I'd be four 'cept, the front would act like a snow plow without the wheels and shocks. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
 
Yeah... Me be thinking it would be best to get the susupension back together 'fore the test ride!

I using stock new stock needles and seats. There is no fuel overflow.

I going to go with the idle-up and give it a try in a couple of weeks.

Thanks guy!
