Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but you are adjusting the amount of vacuum advance with the allen key right? Or is it always the same amount of advance and you are changing the vacuum signal required for the advance to kick in?
According to the article quoted above...you'd be adjusting the tip-in point of the can's full vacuum movement from about 4.5 to around 8 inches of vacuum with one turn and 8 turns respectively.
