Hello everyone,

I recently dropped a reman motor in my gen 1 and I'm having some trouble getting it set up right. I know the manual says 7 degrees BTDC for basic ignition timing but I am not sure how the vacuum advance figures into that. Right now I have it set at 7 but when I bring in the vacuum advance (I plug it into the manifold) it adds a ton of timing and scares me so I just have it unplugged. This is my first project so all this is very new to me. My questions are:

1. What should the timing be with the vacuum advance

2. What should the timing be without the vacuum advance

3. Where should I connect the vacuum advance hookup (I'm running a Weber 32/36, all emissions stuff has been deleted)

Thank you so much, and I've also attached some pictures of the build.
