Looks like a step in the right direction. There's no better feeling than getting an engine dialed in for Max performance. I'd agree a looser torque converter will be beneficial. That being said, vac advance is the least understood component of ignition/timing. It's purpose is not for emissions, but to improve part throttle driveability and performance, with the side effect of better fuel economy and cleaner burning plugs. Infact, GM was implementing vacuum adv as early as the mid 30s! Decades before emissions was a concern. Vac adv complements mechanical adv, (most SBCs will tolerate 50-52 degrees of combined vac and mechanical adv before surging/chugging) and with the proper specs allows a higher base timing without over advancing total timing. Of course, without enough engine vacuum due to camshaft specs, vac adv is useless. My consensus though, is if there's enough to operate the power brake booster, there's enough for a functioning vac adv. There are vac adv units that work with as little as 10-12 inHg. Part # VC1838 for example. Anyhow, enough engine nerding out for now. Keep the awesome content rolling Smitty and Sage.
