The easiest way I know to initially test the Vacuum Advance that is connected to a distributor is to simply detach the vacuum line from where the line leads to and suck air thru the line that should still be attached to the Vacuum Advance. If it holds suction, it should still be in good shape, if not, it's bad.
.....OR.....
because it could hold suction and still not move (froze up)..........
To check it well ya need a timing light just see how much difference there is with the hose hooked up and not.....be sure to plug the end of the hose.....check timing.... do the same with the hose hooked back to the advance the difference should be 12 - 16dg

How do you remove vacuum advance pot on 454 distributor?
Detach the vacuum hose from the vacuum advance unit. Remove the distributor cap and unscrew the two mounting screws. Pull the rotor off the shaft and remove those two mounting screws as well. Unscrew the two advance unit mounting screws and remove the unit from the distributor.
Can you fix a leaking distributor vacuum advance?
A leaking distributor vacuum advance can often be fixed by replacing the diaphragm inside the unit since it’s typically the source of the leak. If the vacuum advance is damaged beyond repair, it’s advisable to replace the entire unit. Ensure that the new or repaired unit is properly calibrated for your engine to maintain optimal performance. Always check for other potential vacuum leaks in the system as well.
How can you tell if vacuum advance is bad on amc 360?
To determine if the vacuum advance on an AMC 360 is faulty, start by disconnecting the vacuum hose from the distributor and checking for any vacuum leaks or cracks in the hose. Next, use a hand-held vacuum pump to apply vacuum to the advance unit; if the diaphragm holds vacuum and the advance mechanism moves freely, it's likely functioning properly. If the diaphragm leaks or does not hold vacuum, or if there's no movement in the advance, the vacuum advance is likely bad and should be replaced. Additionally, checking for erratic ignition timing under varying engine speeds can also indicate a malfunctioning vacuum advance.
What can cause excessive manifold vacuum to the vacuum advance unit in a 1988 Nissan Pintara?
It is possible that you have the pipe connected incorrectly. There are two vacuum take offs, one before the throttle butterfly and one after. The pipe should be on the one on the filter or intake side of the throttle valve. However on some models there are two pipes and the second goes on the other side of the vacuum advance unit that tries to keep the unit in the retarded position.
How do you determine proper function of vacuum advance on 22r motor?
To determine the proper function of the vacuum advance on a 22R motor, you can use a timing light to check the ignition timing at idle and then rev the engine to observe if the timing advances as expected. Disconnect the vacuum advance line and check for a change in timing; it should revert to a base timing setting. Additionally, you can apply vacuum to the advance unit using a hand-held vacuum pump to see if the diaphragm moves and the timing advances accordingly. If the timing does not change or the diaphragm is unresponsive, the vacuum advance may be faulty.
Why does your 1963 Plymouth valiant hesitate at launch?
Could be, Accelerator pump in carburetor is not working, (rebuild carb) Timing is off, (adjust timing) Vacuum advance not working, (replace vacuum advance unit) Points are in need of replacing or adjusting,
Does a 86 caddy 5.0 liter distriberter have vacuum advance?
Yes, it does have vacuum advance.
How do you replace the vacuum advance on a 1970 Pontiac V8?

Does the 1950 Chevrolet have vacuum advance?
If you're talking about the vacuum advance for the 216/235 distributor, then yes it has the vacuum advance, which runs off a carburetor connection close to the idle adjustment screw.
Where does the vacuum advanced pipe fit on to in 96 corsa?
In a 1996 Vauxhall Corsa, the vacuum advance pipe typically connects to the vacuum advance unit on the distributor. This pipe helps regulate the timing of the ignition by providing a vacuum signal based on engine load, allowing for better performance and efficiency. Ensure the pipe is securely attached to both the distributor and the intake manifold for proper function.
Vacuum advance full time or part time vacuum?
Ported vacuum - part time.
What is a vacuum advance mechanism?
A vacuum advance mechanism is a component in a distributor that uses engine vacuum to advance the timing of the ignition system. This helps improve fuel efficiency and engine performance by adjusting ignition timing based on engine load. By advancing or retarding the ignition timing, the vacuum advance mechanism optimizes combustion for varying driving conditions.
