side draft webers dont have ports for vacuum advance so after pondering the idea of where the vacuum is picked up on the original strombers I decided to drill holes in the housings of my webers on the intake of numbers 2,4,6 they are before the butterfly so I am hoping it will give some vacuum advance, here is a pic of what I did. it still runs so I didnt philips it up so far ( having trouble with the pic format) My question is, is there any vacuum reading at idle from the vacuum line at the dist?

will post pic later

Should be none at idle, vacuum starts with the throttle cracked.

Another way to accomplish the same thing is to use a throttle-activated vacuum switch. Friend of mine rigged a microswitch plus a 12v vacuum solenoid. Saves drilling into those expen$ive carbs ...
 
well for some reason I cannot up load a pic and I know how I like pics. I have up loaded jpeg pics before
