I'm not an expert on B's, but I know a little bit about the general subject. A vacuum advance is really a non-vacuum retard, since its function is called into action when vacuum is lost and the "rest

Not for the MGA. You are describing the system used on the late production MGB where the vacuum is ported from the intake manifold. The MGA (and early production MGB) have the distributor control vac

Let's put it this way -- it *should* make a difference, if the engine is tuned correctly, and all components are functional. And if the vacuum take-off on the manifold (or carb) is left open, that de
