With that being the case. I would get rid of the vacuum advance and just stick with the mechanical advance. Once you get the MSD, then you can lock out the distributor. The delco unit can be locked out, but it's a pain in the A... You have to weld the weights. The MSD unit is easy to lock out.

Order one of these and you shouldn't have to worry about the vacuum modulator any longer.

In the mean time I would just set your total advance and be done with it. Most SBC like between 36 and 40 degrees of total advance.
