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.
Do you need to unhook your vacuum advance when using the timing light?
YES! Any time you adjust the timing you should disconnect the vacuum advance.

How do you set the timing on a Mazda b2200?
Ignition timing should be set to 6 deg BTDC, this is done with a timing light. Connect the power leads of you're timing light to the battery and put the pickup clamp over #1 plug wire. Disconnect the vacuum line on the vacuum advance and plug the line so it does not create a vacuum leak. Start the engine and shine the light on the crank pulley to see the timing mark. It should be pointed at 6 deg BTDC. See the attached links on how to install and check you're timing belt. Kyrasis6 Mazdatruckin.com

How do you set the timing for a 2002 Mercury Cougar?
To set the timing on a 2002 Mercury Cougar, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then disconnect the vacuum advance from the distributor. Use a timing light to check the timing mark against the specifications found in the service manual—typically around 10-14 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) for this model. Adjust the distributor as necessary to align the timing mark, then reconnect the vacuum advance and recheck the timing to ensure it remains within specifications.
How do i test a vacuum advance unit?
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 adjust the timing on 1979 Caprice Classic?
That should be a 350 cubic inch engine with a carburator, HEI ignition with a vacuum advance. You will need to hook up a timing light to number one (1) cylinder. That is the front plug on the driver's side. Start the engine and let it warm up. There is an indicator on the front lower side of the engine. It is marked with the degrees. Disconnect the vacuum from the advance and plug it off and then adjust the timing to the desired specs. Tighten the distributor and plug in the advance. If you do not get an increase in rpm when the vacuum is connected, then the vacuum advance is bad.
How do you use timing light on ford 390 1964 ford galaxie 500 XL?

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. This virtually all early north American built cars.All other cars have very different procedure's. Any request for this info must have year make and model to get a correct answer
