I looked on the website for distributors but I didn't see any for 60 bucks.  :-\

I'm thinking now that maybe my vacuum lines arn't right or switch. I'm going to have to look at it when I get home tomorrow.

dual distrib if for 34pict3 carb. as well as are other distrib.s
you can still get these carbs.
Yes you will have to plug a line to the carb. frequently done. Mine has 2 lines plugged. as I have a 009. I also have a svda but not have put that on, as my car runs good as is, since I took Bobs advice and increased my carb jet for my 1776 engine - no flat spots.


why is the carb junk?

Cause the cog or whatever that the screw that face back that you screw in to adjust idle is all wobbly. Some times the screw falls off the cog.

If your carb is a 34 PICT-3 ( you can check this by the numbers on the left side ) that cam is the fast idle cam and the screw isn't the one you set for the idle. When the carb is closed that screw should be off of the lowest setting on the  cam by 1/16" or so. The carb was designed to idle with the throttle plate completely closed. the idle is set by the large screw on the left side. There should be 2 screws one to adjust just the air and one for the idle. If you are having issues with that carb check your copy of the Muir book for instructions on setting the Solex 34 PICT-3 thats the answer.

Turns out that the fast idle screw isn't the right one. It was replaced by an ordinary screw. I'm not messing with the carb until it is looked at by the people at the emissions place. I'm just going to pop off the air cleaner to see if it's choke is opening all the way when warm.
