NOT TO ADD confusion, but Speedy Squirrel has some sound knowledge of the turbo set up. great write up.
I wanted to ask if the Port 2 on the dizzy is the boost retard port? if leaving it open to atmosphere, aren't you removing the ability to retard timing under boost from the dizzy?
along that line of reasoning, i found that port 2 can be connected to the same line as port 1 described, by installing a small tee and thus you can gain back the retard feature on boost that would go unused by leaving it open to atmosphere.
tell me if you don't agree and please explain.
I am referring to my 79 930 which seems to have the same setup as described here.
