Put my rebuilt 17057229 on finally

Mudsport96:
Machine maintenance, maintenance on aluminum melting electric resistance furnaces and brass melting induction furnaces. Also sand casting and molding machines. Hell our vacuum for cleaning out the sand trench is on a dual axle trailer and is powered by a 150hp 660volt motor. It suck my boot off of my foot yesterday... That was not fun.

Mudsport96:
Well, short update. When it rains it pours. Got the new starter on, was a spare off of my old blazers 4.3 so its a small body gear reduced model, so nice for sliding up in place.
Nice and quiet, the car fires right up. Also replaced the vac advance canister and it works properly now. The issue now is I couldn't fine the ported advance. Looked and looked for the fitting, and thought I was blind until I realized that the brass tube is missing. So when I get a minute I have to pull one out of a parts carb and install it. But, I have the idle dialed in pretty darn good now so now it's a waiting game for April when I can legally drive on the road to do the primary circuit.

Cliff Ruggles:
Are you saying the vacuum tube in the main casting for the spark advance is "missing"?

That would also be a vacuum leak at cruise, and would not only lean out the circuit it would suck unfiltered dirty air into the engine......Cliff

Mudsport96:
Yes its missing. Just a hole, I never paid that close of attention before I replaced the vac can. I looks like I either was pulled out or vibrated out. But, I have a few donors carbs I can pull one out of. Assuming the are just press fit.

77cruiser:
It's just a press fit but if it doesn't fit tight put some loctite on it.
