It's possible that there is (was?) still a piece of something in there. >Are there any signs that something, like >the belt or cover got thrown around and >chewed up in the pulley housing? It's possible that the cover may have been. I couldn't find it, and assumed it had dropped out onto the highway. I'll take a better look in the morning, altho I didn't see anything in there. I did see shiny scratch marks on the fan pulley, like something gouged it. >There's not much motion in the vac >advance since you also have mech >advance, which he may not have been >aware of.

He's a bug guy. >Are you FI or carbs? 71 FI AT >OTOH, one sign of one that needs to be >replaced is that it doesn't contract back to >its original short size when it cools down.
