Is that 34 total timing? And at what rpm ? You said to hook up the vaccum port but what port on the carb ? Full vaccum or the port for timed vaccum? And after the vaccum is hooked back up what should the timing be ?
What RPM... when it's DONE advancing. ANYONE that tells you to set total timing at a certain RPM has no idea what is actually in the curve for springs. See that "it kept advancing to 4600..." comment. That's the issue there.
I NEVER said hook up the vacuum advance. Just that after you are done with the first two pieces, the vacuum advance will add at cruise. All this tune up stuff should be done with the vac can disconnected and the port at carb plugged.
I run it on ported and the can SHOULD NOT be active at idle... PERIOD!!!
Set initial FIRST, then get the total adjusted/limited, then worry about vac advance. One STEP at a time. The engine will TELL you where it's happy.
