I went through the trouble of getting vacuum port plumbing made for the manifold on my Weber kit for the GT40. Great for the brake servo but when I hooked up the distributor advance, I got all kinds of trouble, spitting and burping at various points in the curve. I disconnected the vacuum and viola! nice and smooth. The Weber gurus said I shoulda tapped into the Webers at a particular spot as manifold vacuum WILL NOT work. Since I'm not too good with the drill, I opted to leave it disconnected and just timed it accordingly. So. I say ported.
