Maybe the banjo bolt at the ALDA is different on the w123s or the earlier 617s. Mine has an output on the side, and one coming out of the head - so I couldn't use it.

As for the vacuum system - it was recently revamped (rebuilt pump, replaced many bad lines, checked all valves and orifices) Everything is working as it should.

I think I figured out my problem already though - I read through the original writeup, and I adjusted the modulator wrong. I noticed that the pressure went down when I put the cap back on ( due to the vacuum ) and adjusted it so that the pressure was correct with vacuum. The original writeup states that the TDM dictates the pressure to set the modulator at is with no vacuum. Basically I just have to readjust and I should be alright.

Thanks for you help.
