Re: What do these vacuum lines do? Related to my troubles?

Once I upgraded to the Pertronix and an electric 24 volt aerospace fuel pump, ZERO issues while driving in the Arizona summer heat.

Re: What do these vacuum lines do? Related to my troubles?

I upgraded to the Pertronix to eliminate the points. EZ upgrade and no possible issues with ionized gasses in the distributor causing problems.

Re: Exhaust Mailfild Crack Above Riser Bushing

I had a crack in my 230 exhaust manifold that was on the front runner. The crack was about an inch long. I took mine to a mechanic that had a special powdered metal which had cast iron and possibly zinc. Great job, cost $75. These are known to crack and the cost for a new one is around $200-250. My ...

Re: Fuel pump question...

I think you are on it. Definitely check your oil for gasoline in the crankcase. When the diaphragm goes south, it can leak fuel into the crankcase.

Re: ETW1 pump plungers
