Vacuum Advance?
I have a 1967 Cutlass Holiday Coupe with an olds 330. It was restored about 10 years ago and looks pretty original. The distributor does not appear to have a vacuum advance, is it supposed to?

The weather here has been bad. Mine looks a lot like the ones posted by 2blu442 (lots of cobwebs. It has been raining like crazy so I have not even popped the hood. I'll send pics when I can.

My Vacuum line from the Vacuum Advance on the Distributor goes into that round black thing in the top right of the picture. What is that "thing"? The "T" in that line goes to the intake manifold near the back. I have another vacuum line near the front of the intake manifold that is connected to the carburetor and to the transmission vacuum.

That vacuum connected to the T will work fine. Its T'd off of manifold vacuum. Before you set your timing you need to set the dwell. Then you will need to disconnect and plug the line to the vacuum advance and raise the idle a little bit until you are done.

That is the vacuum reservoir for the HVAC system's various flapper doors under the dash. There should be a second, smaller vacuum hose that goes through the firewall to the HVAC controls.
