After yesterday's discussion about ignition advance curves I decided to go educate myself a bit because I was convinced that the vacuum advance curve I'd programmed into my ECU was not right. WOT performance was perfect, but below 3,000rpm at part throttle there was a dead spot and sometimes a little bucking that was driving me nuts. So I went to shoptalkforums and read all the threads about advance curves and vacuum advance. As I suspected. I needed to extend my vacuum advance to include manifold pressures closer to atmospheric (I was only using vacuum advance at high vacuum). Wow. What a difference in drivability. Much better.
Less than 5 minutes later as I pulled up to a stop sign in a happy blissful state I dissengaged the clutch and there was a loud SNAP! as a pressure plate spring(s) broke. GGRRRRRrrrrrr! Some days I just want to throw a match on it and walk away. Mike, don't feel bad that you're pulling your motor this weekend. We'll be doing it together. (sigh) -Ben M.
