Default Holley 2110 question

Can anyone tell me what I should expect in the way of vacuum coming from the carb to the vacuum advance.

I think I get around 5". Is that enough for the normal vacuum advance? Any suggestions. Thanks so much for the input.

hook up a timing lite to #1 plug, aim it at timing mark on front pully, wind engine up and see how much the timing advances, should get full advance at 2000rpm or so

Thank you very much. I don't have a timing indicator on the motor, but the mark moved about 1 1/2" on an 8" dampner.

Remove the line from the back of the carb and you caninsert a unbent paper clip through the hole and it will come out in the lft side venturie. You should be able to see it sticking into the venturie,to make sure the hole is not blocked. ken ct. Use as fat a clip that will fit through the hole no bigger.

if the mark moved that far you have enough vacuum to operate the vacuum advance correctly
