I have seen a thread about too much vacuum at idle with a certain PICT 28 carb while running a fat cap distributor and it creating a stumble/ miss when accelerating but now I can't seem to find the thread. It had to do with the port in the top of the carb being extended further towards the center of the throat of the carb and the other version was flush. I haven't checked vacuum at idle with this fat cap distributor but I suspect it's getting full vacuum as it is sucking the skin on my finger at idle with the hose off the distributor. Just curious if someone could direct me to that old thread. I need to reference the pictures and compare to my PICT28 so I can get this thing running right.

Nice, thank you. Pulled a 009 in favor of a PAU4R5 to get rid of a dead spot on acceleration and now I have gotten it a little more smooth but I think the throttle shaft is too worn to continue working with this carb. Idle dips when I spray starting fluid around both sides of the shaft too. Just when I think I've got it dialed then it pops like its lean or stutters at part throttle under load. Going to check for the upper port style before I condemn this 28 and look for another one.
