- And that's the system used on many other pre-smog control LBCs as well. Actually there is always _some_ vacuum at the port since the butterflies are never completely closed, but the vacuum advance d

- I've done a fair amount of gas tank soldering (hard to avoid on MG T-Types with their soldered tank seams) and have yet to blow myself up. Flooding the tank with inert gas is the preferred method, b

- Maybe, but vacuum-operated wipers persisted into the early 1950's, at least in GM cars. And some cars had mechanical fuel pumps with built-in vacuum pumps to assist manifold vacuum in keeping the wi

- I remember that well. The 1939 Buick, 1940 Chevrolet, 1949 Pontiac, and 1950 Chevrolet my family had when I started driving all had vacuum wipers. The Pontiac had a vacuum assist on the fuel pump wh
