Do i need to hook up vac advance?
I was reading a post and i forget which thread was but someone said if you were using the R/B Holley and intake you should not use the vacuum off of the distributor is this true?

I'm going to bump this as my 83 GS doesn't have the vacuum advance hooked up and both ports are open on the distributor but she runs just fine at upper RPM's.
I have the stock Nikki but this has been bothering me a bit. Is it OK to run it like that?

I dont know.Wheb i got my car they were not hooked up.It ran pretty good,then i was told they needed to be hooked up.I messed with to many things to pinpoint the effects of having them hooked up or not.

or the intake manifold (like for the brake booster). Sorry, I had to point it out.
Not sure about the holley, but if it has a ported vacuum port then by all means
hook it up. Ported vacuum is when theres no vacuum on the port until the throttle
opens. If its not ported you can still hook it up to manifold vacuum but the idle will
be lumpy until you rev it because it will be advanced from the always present
manifold vacuum.
In any event, hook it up either way and you will get better performance off of idle
and see a slight increase in mpg as well. I run my vacuum advance off of the
manifold vacuum because my Dell carb has no ported vacuum and it works great.

First off theres no vacuum off the distirbutor Vacuum comes off of the carburator
or the intake manifold (like for the brake booster). Sorry, I had to point it out.

Rotary Engineering said to disconnect the vacuum advance when installing the dual 36DCD. I have not hooked mine up yet, but I was planning on following RE's instructions. Should I try to connect the vacuum advance? Maybe add another nipple on the intake manifold?
