Okay, I studied my setup good last night.
I assume ported vacuum is the connection above the throttle plates?
My vacuum advance on the distributor is currently hooked directly to the rear manifold vacuum. So given what was said, it is better to use ported vacuum then. That can be easily changed.
I found that my ported vacuum line from the carb goes to the top of the TCS solenoid. Since the open ports were not capped, it is sucking air when the valve is deenergized. The front manifold vac sucks air when energized. This all sounds very wrong but the car runs great. I would figure there should be no loss of vac. anytime.
Yes, it has been a while since I really understood the whole vacuum and distrib. advance concepts but it is coming back...
Thanks for the help...
