Gronk,

I kinda like that idea for the clealiness aspect, but that'd suck(pun intended) given I have a brand new Pertronix coil & the cap/rotor/adapter combo to install already on hand.

Replacing the diaphram on the advance costs more than replacing the whole thing though.  Just sayin' from experience.  I keep several HEI's on hand in the shop so when i work on customers Jeeps andfind a blown diaphram I can jst swap the whole think over quickly and inexpensively.  Never had a customer complain once I showed them what they gained and what they saved.

You could package those extra parts and make someone a heck of a deal on the Nest and be that much closer to the HEY as well.

Well it doesn't seem to be the vac adv diaphragm as I can squeeze the handle on my vac pump and get about 6 inchs and it seems to hold that, and while doing so I can watch the timing with a timing light and it changes like 4* or so.  Found several minor vac leaks, fixed those, I think, still got a serious flat spot on mild acceleration I do have that long accelerator pump, and am wondering about that, but it definitly does squirt.  I'm leaning toward the power valve...

saw the other thread, figured i'd post here too just to be sure

i had the same problem after i did my conversion -- it is probably your vacuum advance to distributor.  inside the port on the distributor is a little allen set screw that needs to be adjusted.  my issue was that the vacuum advance was basically fully on at idle.  i forget which direction does what, you can properly set when your vac advance kicks in.  took a lot of trial and error to get it right.
