Okay, but aren't you setting your initial timing with the vacuum advance disconnected???

It can effect your base timing which effects where you end up.
But unless I don't understand something, that shouldn't matter since under
open throttle the vacuum advance drops out of the equation anyway.

Simple answer.
ith ported you have no vacuum at idle. Manifold you have vacuum at idle.
You gain the ability to advance your timing at idle with Manifold. This
ives you better throttle response and can help the engine run cooler.
Switching from ported to manifold you might end up with more total timing
hen you had which means you might need to reduce total timing.

Does anyone have an opinion on which source I should use for my vacuum
advance on my Mallory Unilite distributor, full vacuum directly from the
intake manifold or ported vacuum from the Holley 650 double pumper? I
have a mostly stock engine with an Edlebrock Performer intake manifold.
I
have recieved conflicting information from Holley and Mallory, Holley
claims that I should use the ported vacuum at the carb and Mallory said I
should use full vacuum from the intake manifold.
