    Vacuum Advance Chatter?

     



    At idle, my HEI distributor is "chattering." Seems as it may be a vacuum supply problem to the advance? Problem came along with the Thumpr cam installation. No other problems. Motor runs fine. Anyone ever experienced this? Is there a simple solution?

    It started with the cam installation? Are you running a billet cam? They require a bronze dist. drive gear. Steel gear on billet cam will wear quickly, and may "chatter" as it goes away.

    I have the melonized distributor gear, approved by Comp Cams for their steel cams.
