My HIF's are in good shape (I don't know about the suitability of the
needles, however), but have been trying to get ported (carb) vacuum, so
have rebuilt a set of HS4's (1965-7 'B) . I tried them on my 'B (with a
leaky jet to fuel bowl connection) and the ported vacuum advance made all
the difference. I would like to stick to the HIF's (excellent throttle
bushings; the hs4 has some looseness) if I could only add ported vacuum.
Has anyone heard of this being done? Is it possible?
Cheers!
