Doug Morris's continuing problems with his thermostatic vacum switch has
finally gotten to me. First let me say that my 1970 6 doesn't have this switch
on it so I only know what I have heard from others. Having said that I don't
understand why Doug doesn't just yank the whole thing off and run the vacum
lines directly from the carbs to the advance/retard ports on the distributor.
Or better yet just cap the ports off at the carbs remove the advance/retard
vacum units from the distributor and let the centrifical advance do all of the
work. This is what I did after messing with those vacum lines for years and my
car (10/1 compression ratio) runs just fine. I really can't believe that there
is any quantifiable emissions improvement in having this device on cars as old
as ours.
