Go ahead and run the vacuum advance if you choose- - - -but be sure it's connected to ported vacuum. At anything other than light throttle cruise with no load on the truck, it's going to stay in the full retard position anyway- - - - -at least that's what the GM training center instructors have said about it since I started attending the one in Memphis Tennessee- - - - -in 1962! Maybe all the internet gurus know something the people who designed the system in the first place don't!

BTW- - - -the 200+ dyno runs I've done also confirm that fact.
