Default Re: Vacuum Advance and why to use it on the street

Great question Eric. Fogive me that I don't know what the factory timing specs were on these engines. Did they have any emissions controls? I suspect I know why the VA may not have been utilized, but I am such a Day 2 guy that I honestly don't know how these were in stock form. I'll be the 1st to admit that my tunes aren't always the most "emissions compliant" as the OE's are required.

For comparison's sake only, draw your own conclusions as you see fit.

Stats listed in distributor degrees and distributor rpm:

0°-2.7° @ 500
3.2°-5.2° @ 625
8.5° @ 1000
16° @ 2500

Vacuum advance can # 1116201
0° @ 6" vacuum
7.5" @ 12" vacuum
=============================

1111295 Distributor:
.5°-3.3° @ 700
6.7°-9.5° @ 930
13.5°-15.5° @ 2500
12.7°-15.5° @ 3000

Vacuum advance--locked out
=============================

1111927 Distributor:
.5°-3.3° @ 700
7.5°-9.5° @ 930
14.5° @ 2500 (max)

Vacuum advance--locked out.

I'm done here.

I'm not looking to win any arguments, I'm simply trying to provide useful info.

Take it for whatever it's worth to you.
