- POSSIBLE START of NEW FOOD FIGHT -

What is being discussed is BASIC INITIAL TIMING, finding optimum initial timing set through use of the manifold vacuum reading (same as carb idle/balance adjustment).

You are describing POWER TIMING in a sense. But the reference to use of ported vacuum for the vacuum advance is correct (IMO).

Of course one would verify timing with a light after using this method to insure there is not too much advance.
