Thanks for the reply Jim.
I was wondering if that pulsating vacuum disturbed the signal to the distributer. I've read a little on ported vs. manifold for vac advance. Seems to me you wouldnt want vac advance at idle. I might end up advancing intial timing after moving to a ported source for the vac advance. Maybe I'll squeeze a little more vacuum out of this thing yet.
