86 b2000 first timer (slow but sure!)

I have the vac advance hooked up there...

Ok. The pictures didn't show it very well lol. Idk then. I'm stumped

I am on my way to the parts store to get some actual vacuum caps (right now I just stuffed bolts into lines.) And some Carb cleaner and maybe some gasket sealer. I think I might have over tightened the adapter plates as well. When I accelerate it sounds like I'm sucking air like crazy. Thanks as always and I'll keep ya posted.

Did you mess with the low idle adjust screw at all? It might be over fueling at low rpms.

I turned it a half turn but then I moved it back where it was

Did your half turn make it better or worse? Or did you notice a difference?

Well I found a big vacuum leak under the bottom adapter plate I'm in the process of sealing it up as of now

Thats a giant leap in the right direction!

Yeah I got it running good now. I have to say I'm very pleased with the turnout. I can actually accelerate going up hills now and I might be able to pass people on the highway now... still not winning any races but I guess I can't have everything! Thanks for all the support guys I freak out over everything.

Got mine running great too. Smokes up through second and chirped 3rd! Being bored over and my cam is finally showing its power.

My 3000-5500 rpm range pulls so hard all the way through 4th
