Dist advance?, where to hook up.... Options

[xsboost90]

ok, so the trans is back in and she is shifting much nicer now, but im noticing a slight hesitation along the acceleration. I remember the vac line for the dist is still connected to the charcoal canister temporarily. Now there are two vac lines on the dist, one closer to the base of the dist, im guessing this would RETARD the timing, the other on the outside of the diaphram, which would ADVANCE the timing correct? Factory says to put the hose on the retard line but this makes my car knock and ping like crazy! I have never really heard a clear answer weather to leave the VAC off, or where to run it to, how it works etc. I tried but cant find any clear info on this. I think i need a mallory dizzy...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Just don't forget to plug the vacuum hose when your re-timing it.

Just to clarify, for a d-jet car who's timing is set at 3500rpm, there is no need to plug the vacuum hoses when setting the timing. As long as both advance and retard are disconnected at one end or the other, that's all that is necessary. No harm done in plugging them - it's just unnecessary as the timing is unaffected either way.
