Here is a very good explanation of how vacuum advance works, or doesn't. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/1601-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-vacuum-advance-and-ignition-timing/

I have suggested this before, but I am going to suggest it again. Pull the vacuum advance tube off the distributor, and drive it. See what difference it makes. It could get better or worse. But try driving it just as you mentioned in the three...

Can you be a bit more specific about how it feels wrong? And by the way, I had mine on a rolling road, paid lots of dosh for it, the guy did change the needle a few times and the readings he gave me were very good. But it never drove as well as...

I actually dont mind masking everything up, Most times when working on boats everything is masked up so its a few hours of nice relaxing work skiving :D Ive got a couple of big fluffy rollers not sure what they are made from. Just got the front...

Kit car builders have to do summat like this. We tend to just use a coupla long studs with hooks on the end, drill two holes in the ends of a piece of angle iron. Make holes where you want em, then pop the hooks in them, top end in the angle...
