0 64EK26 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi See this thread http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?57460-Bedford-MW-Vacuum-advance I believe it goes round the back of the engine Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bigjohn Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Mine runs to the front of the engine, up and past the front end of the rocker cover then over to the carb. Not saying that's correct but that's how mine was when I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Davey089 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks for that Richard and John .I know the pipe is 1/8" the adapter is in the carb but the nuts are missing from the carb and distributor , am I correct in thinking the nuts are UNF ?

0 armouredfarmer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 When I did the A/R pipe on my K9 I couldn't work out the thread so I contacted the distributor doctor http://www.distributordoctor.com/ and he was able to supply all the nuts olives and adapters I needed.

0 64EK26 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi Mine on the distributor end is 5/16" UNF (the male to male adaptor is a special thread (25TPI) to 5/16" UNF) , don't know about the carb end as I am missing the adaptor that fits into the carb Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 64EK26 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi Just found this photo in the 1949 Bedford shop Manual that shows the routing from the distributor Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Davey089 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi Thanks Richard thats excellent , I managed to get the nuts for the carb and distributor from John Morter today , so just waiting for the copper tube to turn up and thats another job done :-) .............

0 Davey089 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi Richard Luckily the adapter is still the carb on mine , I tried a 5/16" UNF nut and its the same as the distributor 5/16" , Chris Morter will probably have one of those on the shelf .
