running rough

Before I bought the car all that was done(points,condensor,plugs,cap,rotor).I pulled the vacuum advance hose off and its getting full vacuum to the dist at an idle?I know that its not suppost to have full vacuum at idle only under full throttle.The vacuum hose gos from the dist to the back of the carb on the bottom.The only other place for a vacuum hose to hook up too is on the left front of the carb.I'm standing in front of the car as I'm looking at the motor.Any suggestions?

You should be hooked up on the ported vacuum (left front of the carb), you don't need all that advance at idle. Be sure to cap off the port you are coming off of. Set your initial timing with the vacuum line off the carb and the vacuum ports on the carb all blocked off. You'll only get vac advance at light throttle settings (such as at cruise). You won't have any vacuum at wide open throttle either (by design).
