Hello everyone,

I just bought a vacuum gauge, and I'm going to use it to help tune my carburetor. I know I want to adjust the idle mix until i get the strongest vacuum. Where should i pull the vacuum? Can i just plug the gauge into the hose going to the timing advance?

Thanks everyone!
 
Just put a "T" fitting in-line on the vaccuum advance line to the distributor.
That will get you manifold vaccuum and allow the advance to work too.
 
Hey duke94, that was a great explanation of how to use a vacuum gauge. A friend of mine, who is a pretty good wrench, is always telling me that all he needs is a vacuum gauge to find out what the problem is. After reading that, I can understand what he means now.
 
My Vette has an automatic tranny, so I use the port where the modulator connects to at the manifold.
