First the theory, just to check if I have it right... The timing advance should increase as RPM go up (mechanical advance) The timing advance should increase as the laod goes up (vacum controled) Va

Close, but not quite right. Advance should DECREASE as load goes up, therefore vacuum advance modules get connected to intake manifold or the ported vacuum at the butterfly. If you are SURE that you

Vacum Surprising, that is contrary to my gut feeling and the Haynes manual which states that the vacuum unit is supposed to provide an additional advance on load... Where did you get your informatio

OK, Cyrille, what do you do when the engine starts to ping as you go up hill with a lot of throttle? Most of us back off the advance a bit. The engine can take a lot more advance (which allows for b

So what you are saying is that the vacuum 'timing tinkering' is designed to reduce the effect of the mechanical advance under heavy load to avoid pinging? My understanding was that it was to increas

Vacuum advance does not connect to manifold vacuum. That'll make it work backwards. Vacuum advance advances the timing as the throttle opens. It needs a source that is opposite of manifold vacuum. Va

A couple of questions/interogations here: declines. the venturi effect (upstream of the throttle plate). Venturi vaccum is generated by airflow, not by engine vaccum. Is the puckup point in the vent

Ahem. Vacuum retard does not reduced engine performance. Vacuum retard disables itself except at idle, so baseline timing is restored whenever you touch the accelerator, hence no affect on performan

Vacuum advance is applied only during cruise (moderate throttle) and serves to improve fuel economy (only). A typical amount of advance would be 12-14 degrees IN ADDITION TO whatever mechanical adva

Hate to bust your bubble, Vance, but the RWA Midgets do indeed connect the vacuum advance to the intake manifold. The carbs don't even have the vacuum port on these. Ported vacuum gives you better p
