Hello, on the vacuum tee on the back of the intake manifold there or four small ports I believe two of them are utilized right now. No more than two. Then the big one that goes to the master brake booster. I'd like to keep the set up I have because I spent over $150 on a new EGR valve and a new EGR carbspacer Plate. The car runs well otherwise no pinging, no running on seems to perform well. So I think at this point I'm OK with the timing and the distributor curve. Just want to make sure that everything is hooked up correctly and doing it's job. I do have the timing advanced some ... adjusted by vacuum gauge but not to the point of causing any pinging.Unless you are required to have the EGR and/or switches functional I would simplify it as much as possible. Disconnect and plug/cap everything and see if you can get it running better. You may have to change jets or re-clock your distributor. After you get it running better then connect your vacuum advance directly to manifold vacuum and see how it runs. Then try it connected to ported vacuum.
As always I appreciate everyone's input and help. Thanks
