Use or don't use vacuum advance on distributor???????????????????

That article just explains why manifold works better than ported and I have read it a few times but doesn't explain how to set it up. I will just put a mechanical one on it. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks I am tired of messing with it I just want to drive it.
Does it run on the distributor you have now?
Just don't hook up the vacuum advance.
