<VV> 1963 turbo - No boost

Perhaps the advance weights are installed upside down...

Hi Robert.

Looks like the collective bases are covered.  For the throttle
linkage/carb, an assistant mashing the pedal while looking with the aid
of a flashlight and mirror will tell you all you need to know...

Hmmm, a "wall" or bog at 3500RPM?  Not herky jerky, but a bog?  That's
also where the mechanical advance should start to assert itself.    

Timing?  Since you aren't getting any boost at the moment, maybe
plugging the pressure retard and taking a run might show an effect.

Do you have access to a shop that can give you a timing curve on your
distributor?  Is it advancing?? 

Bad coupling hose at the intake?  OK under vacuum and opening at the
start of boost?
