Manifold Vacuum Experiment

Hay yall, all I'm doing is posting what I did and what the outcome was. If yall don't like that, just scroll on by, because I'm not arguing, I'm not debating. All I'm doing is reporting on findings. Wanna argue it up? Please start your own thread. That's not what this is for. Thanks.

So, last night, I decided to revisit Vixen and try this experiment on her. So first thing I did was get the timing light out and verify where I had the timing set, even though I already knew. Or so I thought.

Looking at the balancer with the light. I saw no mark on the balancer. Then, just before I took the light off, here comes the mark rotating around counter clockwise as the engine was idling. lol So I reached over and goosed it a little. The outer ring on the balancer almost came off the front of the balancer hub. So I yanked the radiator and fan and pulled the balancer. When I just LAID it on the work table, the inertia ring just FELL off. LOL How in the world it didn't fly off is anybody's guess and there's no telling how long it's been like that.

So I found out two things. I need another balancer and I don't have one, and I need an adjustable vacuum advance for a slant 6. Do any of yall know if somebody makes one? S I'm on the hunt for a balancer and an adjustable vacuum advance that I'm not sure exists. lol
