Hi ya , following my previos thread Click If i disconect the vacum pipe from my distributor it seem to run fine, connect it again and it pops and farts.
Any ideas with out spending lots of money.

Many thanks

Dave

Leave it disconnected and block the vacuum pipe off

Sounds like a timing issue rather than a fuelling issue then.

Do you think the timing could be out a nats dinkle?

Could be, have you got a strobe?

Have you checked for play in the distributor shaft if it got play in it the dwell angle (points gap) will be all over the place!

I had the same problem with mine back in the old Xflow days.

I had a similar thing years ago, it turned out that the wires between the distributer base plate and the out side were broken, When the vacuum advance moved the base plate it caused the connection to fail. May be worth a look.
