Re: vacuum lines
There is more than enough mis-information about timing to get most guys into trouble. We don't need to keep reinforcing it.
It seems like a very simple thing, yet we know that even the factory boys screwed it up quite well. Much of the early emissions era thinking was flawed.
The real complexity comes from the fact that "testing" the actual advance curve is rather difficult. Knowing what you have, and where you need to be, are key in this matter. You cannot just drop in any distributor that "fits" and expect it to be correct.
Since the change to computers and fuel injection was quite some time ago, distributor machines are few and far between. This wouldn't be a huge issue if the factory units were "correct" in the first place....but most are not.
It is far more complicated than jus tsetting the initial timing, with a light, another thing that many don't "bother with".

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
