In concur as well. I don't see any appreciable idle difference, but by disconnecting my vaccum advance I see a very noticable power difference. This is especially evident in the top end. Upon consul

Once again the list fails the questioner! The guy asked for a treatise on what vacuum advance is and how it works. He received no coherent answer that I saw on the list. I hope someone answered him
