Would like to know if vacuum tube on backside of AVS 4741, can be plugged. No hose from air cleaner to connect to it. 1970 Challenger 440. If plugged would that affect how it runs. Thanks

Thanks, trying to eliminate reasons why fresh rebuild runs so sluggish, will have to recheck MP distributor next. Thanks again

Idles good, does not run strong from quarter to full throttle, as said it seems sluggish. Its not missing or bogging. Set initial timing at 16 adv. Checked air gap on MP Distributor w/ orange box and installed. Hard to explain, been away from motors for a long time. Thanks

How far are you from Lincoln? All OE AVS's are lean (emission stds in those days were strict/alot of bandaid factory solutions were in use). Could you block the metering rods up so you are on the power circuit & retry it?
