You are correct and so is Richard
From accel catalog:
These ACCEL adjustable vacuum advance canisters for GM points V8 are designed to give you instant horsepower and throttle response. ACCEL adjustable vacuum advance chambers for GM points V8 permit infinite adjustment to both the amount and rate of advance. The advance chambers include an adjustment wrench and an instruction guide. To optimize your engine's timing curve, you need ACCEL adjustable vacuum advance chambers for GM points V8.

The rate of advance and the amount is changed at the same time....
