What is the procedure you used to set and check the ignition timing?
hook up a timing light to cylinder 1 spark plug wire. disconnect vacuum advance hose on distributor. loosen distributor hold down bolt slightly. start engine. point timing light at the balancer/pulley on the front of the engine. the flashing will make it look like the line marked on it is standing still. turn the distributor slightly until you line up the mark with the correct notches on the timing indicator on the block. tighten distributor hold down. hook up vacuum advance. when you plug the vacuum advance back in you can watch the timing advance with the light to verify that it is working. remove the timing light.The above answer is correct for distributor equipped cars with balancer timing marks using cylinder #1 refrence.

Does the vacuum advance get constant vacuum or not?
Manifold vacuum usually. There may be some instances where someone reworked a distributor to arrive at a specific timing curve under load using ported vacuum with the vacuum advance, but this would be rare as most people would re-curve their distributor by changing advance weights and springs and would limit the advance built into a distributor so they could use more initial timing without having the total timing go over 36-40 degrees when the engine is revved up and all advance is in.
