SU performance tuning... 1800

Can I have your vacuum advance? I know that you know that you know you want to give it to me. =P

Here's the other message, I can see how you'd not be able to find it, there're a few posts in this thread now... But yeah, it's in response to JP down below:

Sorry about the late response:

You were correct in my not fully getting your point on timing... As of right now the only way I can set timing is by using the marks on the crank pulley, not too accurate being that I can't really read it too well. A dwell meter is something that I've been needing to get my hands on to call my own, they do timing as well correct? So I'd be able to sit there with the dwell meter hooked up and set to display timing, and then play with the throttle and distributor to watch where the full advance comes in and at what amount... Is this correct? I guess it's time to go and get one, no more procrastinating.

And about the carb spacing, wouldn't the 2" air horns effectively add the said 2"? And then on top of that, whatever amount I add on with a little spacer between the carbs and the manifold...?
