Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / April 200562 Hawk GT: Presolite distributor question
Hello- I have a Press-yo-luck distributor on my 289. I need to find out if the Prestolite is a full-time vacuum advance distributor. The Edelbrock Performer 1406 has a full time and metered vacuum ports. Edelbrock's email tech support says that the metered port is the preferred one. That makes sense, I just wanted to ask you guys first. Here is what one of there tips pages say. Thanks Tony in Austin. Why not use the 1403 with electric choke?

Edelbrock 600 cfm, square-flange, electric choke ....#1406* I have it sitting on one of J Rice's manfolds. I do not know if a spacer is needed, but I may add the half inch heat disapating from Edelbrock . Better safe than sorry. When I got the car the carb was on a 3 inch tall spacer/adapter. The PCV valve line was attached to the NTP port; the port fot Nitros. And the vacuum advance was hooked to the constant and not the metered vacuum port. It did run; I drove it to Austin from Kansas. Thanks Tony You will need a spacer as the throttle linkage hits the exhaust heat crossover when you open the throttle. Studebaker always used ported vacuum but I changed mine over to full and other that having to lower the idle speed a bunch noticed no change in performance. > Hi Bo, > This one has electric choke.

They look like something that would bring heat to a manual choke system? Tony Yes, those are the two. Most people just grind them off and put a dab of JB-Weld on there and paint over them. You can also take a punch and knock out the wedge plug that contains both sides of the tube and tap the hold for a flush pipe plug. The linkage will clear with the heat insulator gasket.

With a Mr Gasket #98 Heat dissapation set, the linkage will clear, and you only need bend the choke tubes a bit (they can be bent back). http://www.ncsdc.com/TechnicalPages/Carb/carbconversion.htm Ray > Hi Alex- > The "exhaust heat crossover", is that the two little tubes that stick > out of the top of the intake manifold?

I bet the Mr Gasket will be less expensive than the Edelbrock set. - Thanks Jeff- Boy, I am relieved to hear the tubes can be removed without problems if you have an electric choke carb. Especially because I cut them off already. If the next owner (if I ever sell this Hawk) can just buy an new one from you, or tap the holes on this one. *Question for Jeff: would you like my old core? It looks like it was a 4 barrel originally. Email me your address and I will include a self addressed stamped envelop in the box. You can send me back the shipping cost. Tony I'll send you an e-mail Tony.. Jeff "Tony in Austin"wrote... <snip> > *Question for Jeff: would you like my old core? It looks like it was > a 4 barrel originally.
