15 inches of vac at idle

Test was done dry with the throttle open and cranked 46 times. the vacume was found using a vac guage on the non timed vac port on the front of the 650 elde carb. Timming is set at 10 before
tdc

15" of vacuum at what RPM? If it's at 750-800rpm that's exceptional for this camshaft and timing events. If it's at 1200+ not so much!!!

Not NEAR enough initial timing for that camshaft.

Cam may be installed retarded as well complicating matters via the line up the dots method.

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AFTER DOING THIS

Start car and get it warmed up, turn distributor so you have 18-20 initial timing and turn the idle speed down to 800-850. See if it drops any of the timing you just put in. If it does, add it back to the 18-20 range. Car should idle easily at 800 rpm with that camshaft.

Find the most initial timing the starter will handle while cranking OK, no serious dragging or kickback. Subtract that number from the total number you hit and limit the mechanical advance in your distributor.
