    What does do about a vacuum advance with this type of unit?

    FYI

    Ron Fellows said most modern distributors vacume Adv needs turned way down or off. Set 8 @ Idle.

    If ya think about it. The function of the vacuum advance is to retard the timing during acceleration. If the centrifugal advance is properly designed. The vacuum is irrelevant.  Uh... I think.

    That's right on the money, Dave.  Here's a secret:  I don't even run a vacuum advance due to the different tuning requirements that modern day gas has brought upon us.
