stroker distributor questions

I did start to read an article from 4seconds flat.com on this. What exactly is meant by locked out? does that refer to the vacume advance, or does that mean it is locked at one specific advance, and the car starts, idles and runs at 34 deg? I have purchased the pertronixs rev limiter.

Locked out means NO Vacuum advance. Only Mechanical. So like Justin aka "1wild&crazyguy" is telling you with your cam you will need alot of initial timing at IDLE or it will want to stall or DIE without say around 24-25* AT IDLE, then when you rev it to 2500 by hand with the timing light on it you will see the timing advance and you dont want that anymore than 34* TOTAL timing, which would be called ALL IN 34* at 2500rpm or so.

With your cam it will probably idle somewhere around 1000-1200 rpm's, for reference only!
