Jack, I usually don't use any vacumn on the distributor. I set the timing at 3000 rpm for 31 to 33 degrees and don't worry about the initial. If it starts and doesn't kick back it will work good. Some of the distributors from Ford are adjustable with an allen head wrench inside the vac pot. But as a rule they add too much advance. You also should not have any vacumn on the ported port at idle. You may be on the wrong one.
