Constant or Ported Vacuum Source for Distributors? ...AGAIN!

After our last discussion on this I went out to my coronet to play around with the advance, needless to say I found the diaphragm bad. I noticed my idle speed was a bit higher and fuel millage dropped off some a while back, but I never thought of looking at the advance can. Hopefully my new can comes in today, I plan on hooking it up to ported and playing around a bit to see if I notice any difference...
Would be nice if Don from FBO chimed in on this, he is a manifold only guy. Might make an interesting discussion ....
If you can use it, great, ported vac is my recommendation. You can gain some mpg.
As for the adjustable aspect, you can limit the amount of vac advance a particular canister is rated at. The spring inside is compressed when you turn it clockwise with an Allen wrench, 11/32 I think. I've cut one open, have a pile in a box somewhere with a bunch of distributors.
