Hey Mr. K,
Have to say that Ms. American's 3.14 Starts and Runs the BEST now than it ever has in the 33 years that she lived with me. She had always been hard to start, and though she ran alright, she was NEVER as happy as she is now.

As for the ported vacuum signal, it may come in @ idle to some degree, and that is why they have you disconnect it and set to OEM curb idle when setting basic timing.

When the 3.14 was last timed to 12 degrees BTDC, the connection to the Vacuum Canister on the Distributor was clamped off with a pair of Hemostats. BUT... and I never have understood this, when starting the 3.14, doesn't the Centrifugal Advance Mechanism in the Distributor do something?
