You are asking two separate questions. The transmission has a cable,mechanical, kickdown. The distributor does not have a vacuum advance.
You will need a timing light with the timing advance option so you can adjust and monitor your changes. Vacuum advance limiters along with mechanical advance timing weights and spring kits are available from after market suppliers.

I really depends on what distributor you have on the engine. It could be a mechanical advance distributor or a vacuum advance distributor (stock). Google "the Somba" Volkswagen forum and all will be explained.
To test if mechanical waves work in a vacuum, you would need to conduct an experiment where you create mechanical waves in a controlled environment that is a vacuum. If the waves can still propagate and be detected in the vacuum, then it shows that mechanical waves can work in a vacuum. If the waves cannot propagate or be detected in the vacuum, then it indicates that mechanical waves do not work in a vacuum.
Yes, it does have vacuum advance.
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.
Remove the distributor cap. Remove the hose to the vacuum advance. Remove the two screws holding the vacuum advance on. Install in reverse order.
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.

Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.
To test if mechanical waves work in a vacuum, you can conduct an experiment by creating a vacuum chamber and placing a source of mechanical waves, such as a vibrating object, inside. Then, observe if the waves can propagate through the vacuum and be detected by a receiver on the other side of the chamber. If the waves can travel through the vacuum and be detected, it indicates that mechanical waves can indeed work in a vacuum.
