Re: Idle vacuum - why only 10 inches?

I tried plugging the vacuum advance into manifold vacuum, cheap an easy way of adding a bunch of initial timing, which I confirmed with the light (about 14-16). But it didn't improve the idle speed nor vacuum. So the added timing seemed to do very little.

Probably true. Have you talked to him about the low manifold vacuum?
Only in passing, because there's no problem other than the number on the gauge. But I'll find out what he uses for lifted pre-load, if it's anywhere near tight (like more than 1/2 turn past zero) I'll chase that lead a little further.
