Have 2 tea pot's and gave the numbers to Sal. Both are 52 Merc with one being auto the other manual. He's willing to help me out. He also said the fuel pressure can be boosted and recommended checking the vac advance which checked out good. I still don't understand the principle of using manifold and ported vac on the dist and if that's the case why you can't "T" into both ports to supply the dist?
I haven't touched a flat head since the 60's. What a wealth of knowledge on this site!!! Young kids don't know what they've missed and are missing!!!
