OMG!! Not using your vac advance!!
Went to Vons for some groceries. Vac advance has been disconnected awaiting SUMMIT order for adjustible vac canister. Max mechanical is 39 degrees at 3100RPM. A whole new car. Now when the canister arrives it's going in but WOW!! What a difference not having 62 degrees at 3500 RPM!!
No stutter at idle thru 300RPM. Pulls strong all gears. Glad I did not damage the engine with all that advance.

Wow, that is a lot of advance, but at no-load rpm's (high vacuum) I'm sure you didn't harm anything at all. My 406 seems to be the most happy with 32 degrees initial advance with no mechanical advance.
I have yet to do any really "hot" weather starting, but so far so good, except for dist. gear.
Glad to hear you got it sorted out, happy :auto:

I never hook up the vacuum advance, it seems to give the motor more low end grunt with it disconnected. :D

The adj vac adv kits allow you to both limit the total amount of vac adv and to also adj how quickly it adds/subtracts it.
