Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse, I was refering to 69GMCLonghorn about the lack of vacuum advance.
You are correct in timing w/ the vacuum advance disconnected.

Well an initial setting of 14 plus 23 centrifugal would indeed total 37, I missed it in the wording.....I was confused by the "total" of 55...? I am assuming that this would be the "theoretical" vacuum added?....because it won't. These things really don't "just add up" The odds of you traveling down the road @ 3000 RPM
and still having enough vacuum to pull in the advance are pretty slim. About the only time that happens is when you sharply close the throttle....you might make it happen "free-revving" in the garage, but it won't happen under the load of moving the truck.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
