Be sure to change the distributor to a 57 and later if you have'nt already.

thanks everyone for the help.

Whats the deal with the 57 dist? Vacuum?

The earlier dual vacum loadamatic are junk for tuning purposes. Especialy if you change to a later type carb. Most people are suprized at the difference it makes by changing the distributor alone. Do a search for loadamatic and you will find a LOT of interesting reading on the subject. Chuck

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Chuck: If I understand the original post correctly, he's not using a later carb.. it's a 56 Lincoln carb..
