Hi All,
I had taken the piece of tubing from the carbs to the distributor off while doing some work and noticed that it is somewhat difficult to blow air through. It looks like it is the original 1/16" (or so) copper tubing with the threaded fitting at the distributor end and a rubber fitting for the carb end. I am wondering if this may be the cause of some hesitation when accelerating or if it is normal. My thinking is that with only a few oz's of vacuum from the carbs, any sort of restriction would negate its affect on the vacuum advance.
Thanks, James
