He' guys,
Have a question:
I have test the vacuum on the distributors(vacuum-unit),and the result was 0-hg on idle!. :confused:
When the engine idle ......there is no vacuum to the vacuum-unit?.
Can somebody tell's me how it works?.
Thanks a lot! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

DId you place a "T" inline for the Gauge, leaving the vacuum source hooked up?
The vacuum comes from the engine, not the Distributor.

If you have satisfied the above, then you are hooked up to a ported vacuum source, meaning that it only sees vacuum above idle. Try hooking it up to another source for manifold vacuum.

Good LUck

you should have litle to no vacuum at idle
if you rev the engine you will see that change
