Re: No vacuum advance on new engine?

When I first set the timing I could not get it to time for crap! I know absolutely that I had the dist in to perfection but it would not time. I only ran the engine for maybe three minutes total and it was suggested I break in the cam before I played with it anymore. I got it to run as smooth as possible then broke in the cam. Once that was done the engine ran much better and I was able to get it timed. I don't know why, maybe I had a dry lifter, I don't know but it's sure running nice now. It has a really nice idle that sound great in my flowmaster 40s.
