Do NOT disconnect the link from the pull-off up to the secondaries. I see folks recommending this all the time and it will not work. The pull-off is there to provide smooth transition and it must be timed correctly for this to happen. Problem is that dating back at least 20 years now the pull-offs being supplies do not have the correct springs in them nor the correct restriction in the orifice so they work correctly. Take the white plastic pull-offs currently being supplied for the early 67-70 Q-jets. The spring in them requres 14" vacuum to apply the pull-off, factory spec is 5"-6".

I've tried to get the manufacturer's to correct this issue but it goes on deaf ears. I used to modify them in house but currently sending them out to be "rebuilt" with the correct spring and orifice in them.

All the pull-offs I sell are modified to work correctly, next to nothing coming from the manufacturers is worth two squirts of duck poop right out of the box......
