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

Right but how? What needs to be done? Let me start it over because we are frustrating each other and that is not my intention so for that I apologize. I do want both problems fixed. If I can use the vacuum advance I want to but the only option is with manifold vacuum I do not have ported vacuum. Only reason I wanted to adjust the vacuum can is to make it take more vacuum to advance the distributor. Right now it advances at idle. I am idling at 850. If I hook it up the things sounds like a tractor.


IMO, and I was going to stay out of this part of it, but junk the vacuum advance, get the right curve in the distributor and forget about it. You need to be at 35-36 total. Get it all in by no later than 2500, 2000 would be better.

The vacuum advance was for cars with DEAD STOCK parts. With the right tune up, the VA is a waste of time.
