Distributor Vacuum Full-time or Ported?

[DEANCURTIS17]

Hello All,

I am installing a Edelbrock 600. My wonderful truck wasn't running when I took her all apart. So, I couldn't test if the Distributor is full-time vacuum or ported. Can someone please tell me which port to connect this to so I can finnally get this running! Thanks!

Mine is connected to the carb.

Yes you are correct. On the Edelbrock 600 you have to options, Full-time or ported. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Ported! That way it applies advance when the throttle plates are opened up. The mechanical advance on the distributor does the rest.

Awesome! Thanks Ranger Rob! ;D

the factory setup typically uses the ported vacuum.

actually you can get things running well using either vacuum source and
debate seems to continually rage on regarding which is superior.

I think the ported is located on the carb left side fulltime on the right,when facing front of vehicle, if I get youre question correctly?
