Technical Flathead Vac Reading

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chappy444, Jun 6, 2019.

  1. So I got the carb issues sorted out, and finally got the cooling issues taken care of on the flathead ('51)
    Also realized the dizzy was a tooth off and got that sorted.
    Now I am ready to fine tune the timing.
    Currently, the mark is just a bit before the pin on the block. This was the point where it started idling good.
    My dizzy is a Mallory dual point, isky max 1 cam and dual 94's on a Edmund's intake. There is a single port in between the carbs on the intake and as far as I can see this is the only point I could possibly pull a vac reading.
    So my question is... with this set up, what kind of vac numbers should i expect to see with this set up?
    And
    If i understand correctly, i should advance the timing untill i get the maximum vac reading and then back off just a bit.
    Any other suggestions or steps that need to be taken?
    Thanks as always
    Chappy
