B/RB vacuum advance source?

With that smogger advance curve? Yetch.

I'll get on it.

 

Huh?!

Pages upon pages upon PAGES of brand new vacuum advances in the Echlin and
Standard-Bluestreak catalogues. Applications going back to the '50s and
earlier.

 

Yeah it appears that the Stude advance was set up the same way.
Actually this conversion is for sale commercially from one of the Stude
parts vendors but I'm chea^H^H^H^Hfrugal and decided to see if I could
figure out how he does it rather than spend $300.

Of course, I may come close to that by the time I'm done, but at least
I'll have spent lots of time on it and maybe I'll know what I'm doing <G>

72 hadn't changed much (if at all) from earlier. And you can always
migrate the mechanical distributor's weights and springs over to the
electronic housing.

 

Had so. The small changes came in '68; the big change came in '70 and '71.

True, but that does nothing about the vacuum advance curve.

 

Just in case anyone was wondering, I almost got the electronic
conversion together and then went to look at a car for sale:

of course, this car has an (incorrect but more desirable, and easily
converted with Pertronix or similar) Delco "window" distributor so it
looks like the conversion won't be used, as I can't keep my '62 and the
convertible at the same time.

Oh well, such is life. I suppose I ought to finish it anyway just to
prove that I can do it. Thanks for the help, anyways. I did eventually
find a parts store that hooked me up with a vacuum unit that fit.

What is G/RG?

Thanks.

 

"A receptionist's main job is to turn people away."
The guy probably wasn't there when the product was made.
They don't care, don't care enough to ask someone who has been
there longer (might be huge turnover in a shoddy business), and
are just hoping that you will go away and let them get back to
waiting for break (brake for the illiterates)/lunch/go home.

 

Slant six, I believe. I think the 225 had a taller deck, hence RG.

G is the 170 cubic inch slant-6.
RG is the 198 and 225 cubic inch slant-6.
