If you are running an HEI or an aftermarket distributor that does not have the computer connected, then check to see if your timing is around 8 to 10 degrees BTDC and then connect the vacuum line and the timing setting will change. If the setting doesn't change then your distributor vacuum pull-off or the weights inside are bad or hanging up.
Ok... now that I know that this is an HEI. Can you guys respond with some links to other posts that explain more on checking and setting your timing, and give me some additional information on setting the timing around 8 to 10 degrees BTDC.

I appreciate everyone's help!
