Hi Michael and club members
I don´t understand how this unit working I have tryed on my car and the unit can only retract it newer extend  when I put a vacuum pump on the unit it only retrac when I add vacuum to it.
So the plunger will never  touch the carb butterflies.
is my unit wrong adjusted.
Maybe somone can give me information about this.

  1.. can some one describe   how it should work the anti stall unit ?

    when the accelerator is released, the plunger on the antistall unit extends, preventing the carb butterflies from suddenly closing, which in turn often would stall the engine. In other words it allows the butterflies to close the last little bit slowly.
  2.. I have adjust it to .005-.010 inch when the idle speed is 750 rpm and transmission on D position but the anti stall unit is not activated in this situation should the unit be activated when the idle speed is 750.When I stop the engine it is the same gap .005-.010 is this ok. Is the vacuum to low?

    No, I don't believe it should be activated. You can tell if it is working by observing it with the transmission in neutral, parking brake set, and revving the engine. You should see the plunger extend and retract as the manifold vacuum changes.
  3.. Can I adjust the timing with a vacuum meter has any one tried this way ?

    I've never heard of it, and I don't see how the timing could be set anywhere near correctly with a vacuum meter. A timing light is best -- although some can set it by "ear" -- listening to the engine as they adjust it.
