I think where the confusion here is is the fact that the vacuum advance for the Load o Matic DOES NOT function like a standard vacuum advance distributor. Yes, you are pulling vacuum like that Holley was designed to do on any other engine/vacuum advance distributor combo but not with the stock...

That's what I was always told too.....unless you're running the original 2 bbl it's not working properly with the Load o matic.

Could you tell us how you got the vacuum advance to work correctly?

Thanks Tony..

KiWinUS, thank you. It's not really 'Forum friendly' here (although some hear know it from another flathead site as the 'Goofy Jeep' project) and I'd like to stay in good company here we'll just do it this way.....I think this link ought to take you to a writeup explaining what it is and why and...

Mine also cranked and ran 'out of the box'. Should be getting plenty of fuel. Have you checked the float settings?

This thread is very helpful to me also......I'll have to be doing the very same thing to my '28 Phaeton. Ken if you have time when you are working, snapshots along the way would be helpful.......if you feel like doing a tutorial...:D

And I'd add stay at least one night at the El Rancho like a movie star. On our trip back from Bonneville a couple of years ago we stopped just to take a few pictures. It was 3:00 in the afternoon so I had no intentions of getting off the road that early. Did a little price checking and the...

I just got a '32 "heavy" back from being dropped and still have less in it than their 'starting price'........just lucky, I guess.

Morning guys....have my flathead/Willys RPU in Cincinatti this weekend for our annual Spring Willys Reunion. Was standing there in the next space down from my truck just talkin' when my cell phone rang....looked over my shoulder and there was Shelly and Mac checking out the jeep. She just...

You haven't noticed posts about the 'old board' vs the 'new' board and how the HAMBers are "suddenly coming over here"? Are you reading all the posts?

Probably has about as much to do with the format as anything. Maybe the interest was there before but finding the format uncomfortable it wasn't used.....much like some of the 'old Barners' not being comfortable with the 'new' format. It's sad to see the 'us versus them' taking place when...

If you have already read a post and there has been no new reply to it, the post will be regular type. If you haven't read it or there has been an addition to it, the post will show up as bold print.

I realize it's being somewhat trivial, but if I was Paul I don't think I'd want to be "a variation"...;) (also, at this point, the registration process could get a little sticky...wouldn't there have to be an 'un-registration' before he could register under that moniker?) As for the...
