You guys forget he's got a little blower on it which will usually calm down a lopey cam and provide a better vacuum signal to the carb. You don't want to hook up your vac advance to the manifold either with a blower since it will usually see positive pressure created by the blower.....wanna hook it up at the base of the carb.
