Tham Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 The distributor I bought for my 4K from the salvage yard here was also marked "5K". The connector was identical. It also had a two-stage vacuum advance pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tham Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) You can use a plastic T-connector, which the salvage yard owner can probably give you, and connect the single hose from your carburetor's vacuum inlet to both outlets on the vacuum diaphragms. Some say that the outer one is for advance, while the inner one to supposed to go to the manifold for retard, while others say both ports are for advance - one giving advance at low to moderate engine speeds, while the other gives a bit more advance at very high RPMs. I guess this depends on the diaphragm's design and engine application. In my case, both appeared to be for advance, with the outer one giving more advance than the inner. I used one of those metal splitters found in aquarium pumps, which had shutoff taps, as I wanted to experiment shutting off each hose in turn to see what difference it made. If you do not have the T-connector, you can of course use these splitters and open up both outlets permanently. The vacuum hoses fit them exactly. If you cannot get metal ones, normal plastic ones can be used, which was what I used at first, and appear to be able to withstand the engine heat. You can read my other thread "Electronic Distributor for 4K Engine" . Edited June 5, 2006 by Tham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tham Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) I read your article!!!thanks ....Now i find one carb with 2 valves!can u help me if this is right to put it between distributor and my carb? Seems there are some script errors with the pics you posted, can't see them. I'm not familar with the extra vacuum inlets on other carbs. Maybe the others here can help. According to Mikey's Toy on the other post, he mentioned that the outer diaphragm port goes to the standard inlet just above the carb's butterfly for advance, and the inner one goes to the intake manifold port for retard.
