Distributor vacuum advance

[AlanH]

Hi all,
I am reposting the technical part here in case someone reads this and is able to help.
So maybe someone here can assist. The problem I have is that the timing once over say 1500 rpm starts to advance to about 40-50 degrees when running at speed and it is not limited to the 28degrees. For that reason, I am driving with the vacuum disconnected which again makes it a little crappy on pull away.

As per your other post.
You dont have an issue, its supposed to do that.

Hi Alan,
that's perfectly ok. In your hight asl it should be between 35° and 44°.

Cool, thank you Tony and Wolfgang. Appreciate the reply.

It is right like that just make sure you have the vacuum advance pipe on the right place on the carburettor
if you just rev it you won't actually see how the vacuum advance really works because you can't load the engine
if you ever have the chance to put your car on a loading Dyno you would see as soon as there is load on pull away it
advances but not quite as much as when you just revs up
it all has to do with airflow vs load ect..."big engineering talk with white suits"...
