Should I Use Vacuum Advance at Lynne Mcneil blog

Should I Use Vacuum Advance. Vacuum advance is purely an idle to slightly off idle to low rpm cruise thing. The important thing is to use vacuum advance, and adjust it correctly. With full time it is ever present so you might find that your engine doesn’t need as much static. The vacuum advance mechanism is usually connected to this port, controlling ignition. I’m constantly amazed at how clever those old school engineers were! Not all distributors are equipped with vacuum advance, but for a street engine it can be very useful. Vacuum advance is a separate system that uses a small diaphragm assembly attached to the side of the distributor. Vacuum advance was the only way to achieve this, centrifugal weights and springs alone can’t do it. Most v8 will happily cruise in high gear on level ground at 50° to 55° btdc ignition timing. The trick involves finding a vacuum can that offers the best (not necessarily the most) amount of advance at a low enough vacuum. Using a ported vacuum can help improve fuel economy by advancing ignition timing. Retaining vacuum advance in a performance street engine still has merits. We explain what it is, how it works, and how to tune it.
