Timing a 273

The vacuum is ported, so it is shut off at idle. That can be verifed with a vacuum gauge T'ed into line. Adjusting timing to 34 to 36 with line on, may result in retarted timing for cruise. This may will result in overheating, poor mpg, poor throttle reponse. If you are going to set at 34, do that with line off.

I also belive performance timing is not a adjustment at a single point. It is a 3D table for the full range of RPM and vacuum. That takes a programable ECU.

I think you got that wrong. All in is 34 at 2500. All in means vacuum and centrifugal advance. Setting that high without the vacuum wouldn't be all in. Then reapplying the vacuum would throw the base timing far too high ( opposite of retarded ).
I'm not one to argue though. This subject has been discussed far too many times in earlier threads anyway. The original question here could be answered through search.
