Vacuum advance removal, is it possible?

I have always read and been told that the vacuum advance dose absolutely nothing at full throttle. That it only works at part throttle when you have vacuum. It's purpose is to improve mileage at part throttle.

I set the total timing at 36' and it runs ten times better with the advance plugged, as I could not adjust the advance down to 50' The lowest I could get it was 56' and it sputtered at that amount.


I took out my vacuum advance and put in an MSD Pro Billet dizzy and a Mopar Performance MSD-6 box. Pretty nice way to go. If you aren't using the vacuum advance, you aren't getting the most out of your motor. You can certainly find distributors with mechanical advance instead. You need that advance at higher rpms.
