Actually, I believe the vacuum retard was a US requirement.  Possibly you
could blame BL for trying to keep the vacuum advance, but since it does
improve things, that part seems like a good idea.

And BL was certainly not the only company to use "dueling" modules.  My 1970
Audi had exactly the same setup and still made almost 1 hp/ci.

As you've no doubt realized by now, the port on top of the carb is for the
vacuum advance.  The retard port (if you have one) is on the bottom.  And
there is a difference.
