...let's talk some more.
I'm converting to dual webers from a single holley weber setup. Running a stock 1.8L dizzy with vacuum advance hooked-up. What are your suggestions/opinions for switching to a centrifugal advance 009. I know some people hate them, but the advance curve is steep and good for carbs so I'm told. Further, I just picked up a shiny new 009 off this site as it was recommended to me by people at AA for carb setups. Before we say anything about the mallory unit, of course I would love one of those, but I would also love to install a 6-cylinder... Would I be better off keeping the 1.8 stock dizzy and not hooking up the vacuum advance? Right now my single carb setup is dealing with getting bogged down in the low rpm range (timed to 27 degrees BTDC)...seems like the advance curve isn't steep enough. So, 1.8 stock dizzy vs. 009; opinions appreciated. |

dizzy swaps are easy enough so i'd say install the 009 and tune it and see what you think of it. easy enought to swap back. however, i don't have carbs and don't know the effect of timing incorrectly. i looked at your advance and thought d-jet advance and thought there is a conflict with your 1.8L. i'm sure you have that worked out.

QUOTE(type47 @ Feb 26 2008, 06:34 AM)  i looked at your advance and thought d-jet advance and thought there is a conflict with your 1.8L. 1.8s, are not generally timed by full advance, they are timed at 850 rpm...then of course that is with FI. I'm sure the gurus will set us straight using carbs. |
