As already stated I had changed back to vacuum secondary carbs, and was thinking about going back to the vacuum advance distributor.

Well come to find out the mechanical advance distributor was sticking. As soon as it went above 2000RPM's or so, it would stick at full advance, which was 32 degrees.

So I put the vacuum advance distributor back in and the driveability is much improved.

Now my car fully sucks and does run better. I have to admit I miss the mechanical secondary carbs, but the car runs better without them.

And it was great to see you today Jim. Even if you do call my car the "Banana Mobile".
Nice to see you again John, glad you could make it and to hear your car is running great.

Jim
