Vacuum advance?

[Tower Rat 95B]

 Where does the vacuum advance tube connect to on a 440 Sixpack engine?  I have a vacuum fitting at rear of intake and one one the center carb, its been along time can't remember ........

Same as normal................ Run the tube from the dizzy to the metering block and the other three outlets one on each carb should hook up with each other

 Thanks ,,, this weekend  were going to tune it up good and then fry the tires   ........

I fought my six pack  until I hooked the vac advance up to manifold vacuum as it should be, now it runs smooth as silk at all rpm.

An article that tells it all and has aswered all the questions I had on the subject, I don't know how to post a link but if you want a good read google " Timing and vacuum advance 101 by Lars Grimsrud "  all 3 of my cars run and perform better since I ditched the ported vac idea.

weird , this would give you full advance at idle & less at RPM , all engine I have seen set up ythis way over heat & eat fuel , this would have the vacuum working opposite & contradicting the mechanical advance leaving you with very little curve at all
I usually ditch the vacuum advance altogether & get great power & milage

     On some earlier chebbies, 283 and 327 around 1964/65, I found that they had manifold vac to give a quicker take off, if it was disconnected they were hopeless ( yes they are anyway ). They were auto trans vehicles, doing this to a manual will make the car very jerky at low speed.
  As Chryo said best to leave disconnected, it is mainly for economy.

I have to use it on my six pack,  if I put enough initial in it to idle decent then my mechanical is all in at 1800 which is way too early for my car.  I run my GTO, Mach 1 and Challenger this way and they all run great. after all under no load and light load conditions you can have lots of advance it only helps  , open up the throttle, drop your vacuum and it backs your timing off. makes perfect sense to me ,especially with the crappy gas we have these days.

 That article really is worth reading, I can't say he's right for every car but I'm sold.
