Where does the vacuum advance on the distributor go does it go to the carb or somewhere else?
It depends on the year of the car.....but if you are running HEI ignition (74 and later) it will run to the carb. It goes to a ported vacuum signal. You will find a ported vacuum on a fitting that is above the carb base plate. It should have no vacuum when the engine is idling but will have vacuum when you rev the engine.
How do you vacuum time a balance Chevy 350 engine with out a homonic balancer?
All engines must have a harmonic balancer instaled on them. Balanced or not. Hook a vacuum gauge to direct vacuum port on intake. That is a place that will have vacuum on it when the engine is running at an idle. Then read gauge and move the distributor until you get the highest vacuum reading. It should be 18 to 21 inches of vacuum at an idle.
