Tinkeys Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Today my first attempt to repair a vacuum canister for Dodge distributor and it works , I ended up using a silicon rubber sheet for the diaphragm ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkeys Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Sorry Dave for not letting you know ! I did receive the stand I am happy with it ! It's just like the original I will work on it to get out small grind marks that's not a problem and it has saved me trying to fabricate one .i didn't take any pics of vacuum canister next chance I get I will take pics of material I used and finished unit and explain how I went about the repairs . I am also going to fit a CDI ignition module for my new engine to burn modern fuels better.cheers Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkeys Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 This is the silicon rubber sheet I used to make a diaphram for distributor.I used oxy acetelene to soften rolled edge peeled it back with flat screw driver , taken it apart dollyed rolled edge even ,remade diaphram rivited to actuator ,clamped two halves together and peened edge together with dolly and hammer gently ! will fit it to car shortly.Cheers Tony.

Tinkeys Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I finally got around to test my rebuilt distributor advance canister It Works ! I am now getting about 13deg. Advance in timing over mechanical timing ! On light throttle wich makes engine cruise effortlesy !full power seems the same but cruise is defiantly better , can't wait to try her out on a long drive to see difference in MPG !just keeps getting better !

Tinkeys Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi Dodge KCL ! Now that you mentioned it I dont know which one it is ,although I did test it with some fuel in a tin and it did not react so I am hoping its OK , if not I will do it again , we can always learn by our mistakes Cheers Tony.
