The same problem is true for fuel injection too. If you have fuel injection you need about 17 to 18 inches of vacuum for the signals the whole system gets for the fuel injection to work well. Some cams may be designed to allow for more vacuum but lack of vacuum is the cause of more problems than guys realize.
Now, this I find interesting! So, maybe there isn't enough vacuum for the PJ3 to function properly.....or maybe it just makes it more difficult to 'dial in'!

In any event, I should get my Summit carb this week and, with luck, get it installed by the W/E and be able to see what the difference is. I've been refreshing my memory and reading up as much as possible on the Summit (and similar) carbs...they seem pretty straightforward. Time will tell, I'll let everyone know the verdict!

Thanks for the advice Mike,

Gary
