I apologize Ryan. I can be painfully analytical sometimes. What i was trying to ask is, advancing the timing should boost the vacuum correct? And is the result of the engine running hotter?

I assumed that's what boosted meant. Making sure I wasn't missing something.

Define boosted please?

Suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Vacuum is created on the initial stroke which fills the cylinders. The up stroke compresses the air/fuel mixture. Spark ignites the mixture which forces the piston down or the power stroke, then final stroke back up is to exhaust the gases and empty the cylinder to begin again. Poor choice of words on my part. Should've said, vacuum strength can being manipulated with timing. Without overthinking it, I believe this is because of the thermal aspect. Am I wrong in theory? I am pretty keen on the four cycles btw, but still appreciate your knowledge.

My understanding of the combustion engine, is that the vacuum is created by the thermal dynamics of the engine. From my understanding the timing is what controls where the heat is in the motor. This affects the cacuum being pulled through the Venturi. On a Holley carburetor all functions except for the Excelerator pump are vacuum operated. The Excelerator pump is controlled mechanically with the throttle linkage. There are three variables to Excelerator pump, the diaphragm, the linkage Cam and the squirters.

Talked to a guy over the weekend who had really good luck with aluminum oxide blasting on the last truck he had painted, painters thought it left a fantastic surface. That's exactly what the gentleman said he would use. Was telling me about how it was mine in Florida, when I asked him if it was synthetic.

That's the plan my friend.

I am considering it, That an electric cutouts. A solid understanding of the tuning process is still needed though.

Most likely not a leak. I have all the vacuum lines capped, and checked for leaks around the intake and carburetor.

I am carb stupid. Small engine carbs, no problem, but I've never worked on an automotive unit.Thank you for the input my friend. I about have my head wrapped around the concept, and believe I understand the theory. The Holley is based on circuits. Each circuit needs to kick in in the appropriate order, and adjusted in that same order.

Looks tastey! Was very tasty Mikey! Basically my vegetarian chili with hamburger in it.

One of the rear brakes is dragging. I need to back out the self adjuster. The gentleman I purchased the master cylinder from, claimed the self adjusters would not work. I hadn't figured out why he said that, but I think I should.

I think I about have the holley carburetor figured out. I have the idle circuit dialed, I have the transfer slot circuit dialed, and appropriate size jets and power valve. The vacuum drops to almost 0 when I punch it. I would say there is more likely hesitation than a bog. I believe I should install a larger Excelerator pump nozzle, to introduce more fuel quicker. Ryan or anybody else have input on this?

I talked to a media blaster yesterday. It really helped to get enlightened by somebody involved in the industry.

I really just needed to reverse engineer the selection process, based on how I handle my service job. I am looking for somebody that is interested in what I want, not what they want to do. Also does not mind explaining the logistics involved.

I just got done talking to another paint shop. He took one look at the car and didn't want anything to do with the job. He did give me a little insight and also a bunch of references. The process continues...

Good to know.

Hopefully you can go visit mom when you need a home cooked meal. Didn't you know, we renamed the hop Seans food network.

Fishing is already tough then, I love seeing the fly hatch like that, but also know that gorging occurs and finding the bite is usually tough here. We are like you though in that the world is lush and full of life here. Ya, would be hard pressed to catch much unless your fly fishing. Even then can be tough.

Hard to grow enough beans. Grew three last year and only got half a mason jar. Have a ton more going this year. I am doing the two sisters and using the corn as it's lattice.

Onion sliced huge so the wife can pick them out. She hates the texture, so it's leave them huge or mince the motherfuckers.

I had chili for dinner to Mikey! This chili does not have ANY seasoning in it, not even salt and pepper. You would not know it by tasting it though. I used a habanero and a jalapeno for the bite and flavor. I browned the onions and bell peppers with the meat. And I love me some beans!! Mad source of protein. (it was late and the first meal of the day, so excuse the extra shitty pic)

Mayfly's are in full force here. The river is right next the interstate. Coated my window in minutes.

All boy, that sounds like me, I am extending the rear deck and adding support so the hot tub can be under roof and out of the weather. Wife text me last night and said Lowes is offering 10% off their in stock trex wood. Guess I will be buying the decking this week to make her happy. Thanks for the heads up! I shall head over to lowes directly and see whats available. I had did trex on my last house and absolutely loved it. No need to paint, no splinters. Biggest thing is not getting a dark color, as it gets HOT. We are still looking and not positive on which brand yet. I just went and looked at Lowes. Everything was on sale, but were all the fluted style. Which is not what I am after. Maybe you will have better luck.

Love me some outdoor Paradigm's, I have mine wired into zones 6 and 7 on my theater amp running as zone 2. Your project sounds fun. I will have to look them up. I have a set of JBL control 25's. Planed on building some shelf's off the side of the tub, that can double as solid drink holders. Hopefully the JBL's will sound good so near field. Pictures of the project. Of course.
