Thanks Ron & George, right now I am trying to get some baseline idea of how it should run. The only B16b I have driven in the last few decades is this car with the 'old' engine. It was somewhat down on power as the compression checked at about 120 except for the #3 cylinder which was only 70! The newer B16 has 135~145 and runs smoother and stronger. Lots of blow by in the old engine too.
Setting the ign. to the specs that Phil supplied gives a bit smoother idle and I am not seeing any heating problems so far. With the vacuum hooked up, the idle advance is about 9 or 10 BTDC but when reved it advances quicker and a bit farther than without the hookup. I think this is as it should be AFIK.

Cheers!
OK
