    6/12 Volt Fuel Pumps - Lesson Learned

    No return...it goes into the trash. Didn't pay much for the China junk. The Vic has a toggle switch under the dash for pre-start prime. The prior reliable Airtek finally died.

    6V/12V Fuel Pumps - Always Ask

    If you plan to add or replace an electric fuel prime/booster pump, BE CERTAIN that it is a "flow thru" design - one that allows fuel to flow freely when that pump is not running. I had ordered a pump and neglected to verify this critical feature before ordering.

    Initial Timing via Vacuum

    My '55 with stock 272 arrived here with a Holley 2300 carb and an unknown dissy. They did not play well together so I swapped in a freshly-curved '57 dissy. The curving was done locally on a SUN distributor machine by an old guy who knew what he was doing. The vacuum advance is ported into...

    Does anyone have experience with Cobramik

    I bought my '41 P-U from Cobramike a few years back, based only on photos and conversations. I was not disappointed - the truck was totally as represented.

    Initial Timing via Vacuum

    Initial Timing via Vacuum

    I'm running a '57 dissy with a Holley 2300 carb using venturi vacuum in my '55 Vic with a stock 272. I have approx. 38-40 degree advance open road cruising. Works for me.

    That '57 distributor is a great upgrade for your 272. I'd just give it a go and see if that works for you.

    Holley/Fod 94 Carb Adjustment

    I was always taught to adjust idle screw(s) until engine starts to stumble, then back off a half turn. Been doing that for past 70 years.
