Why vacuum on a timed vac port at idle?
Can anyone let me know what would cause a timed vac advance port to have vacuum at idle rpm (850)? This is on a holley 600 4160. Thanks!

Had an experience with the exact carb on a friends engine with a lumpy cam. I did all the things one would normally do for a 'tune'. Found the timed port still pulling almost as much as straight manifold vacuum. I tipped open the secondary plates a little, then closed the primary plates. Did the trick for this one. Went back through the idle A/F mix with a vacuum gauge and picked up more response and way better drive-ability.

I think the cause was the throttle plates too open, good call you guys. I cracked the secondary plates, turned down the primary plats, and no more vacuum on the timed vac port!
