My vacuum advance/retard on the distributor should be seeing the same
thing as my gauge. There is only one port on the carburetor that has
a vacuum. Judging from my gauge I would guess that the vacuum port on
the carb is before the throttle plate. My question was not stated
vary clearly. For the distributor that comes standard on a 79 spit,
is this the correct location for the vacuum port? It does not seem
like this is the correct location.

Sounds to me like you've attached the hose to the timed vacuum port on
the
carb. This is located just above the throttle plate at idle, so the
gauge
sees atmospheric until you crack the throttle and uncover the port-
