yes, this excerpt is correct....

and the link is correct, you are wrong. "under load the vacuum advance goes
away" is close to accurate, however "under load, i.e. *driving down the
road*, vacuum goes away" is inaccurate. "driving down the road" implies a
steady cruise, which is a high vacuum state for your engine, and in turn
means higher vacuum advance. do you not understand what you read or just
confused on what you wrote? maybe the one crying about comprehension is too
ignorant to realize they contradict themselves in their own words.

no ma'am, the link is correct, you are not. you even state that the vacuum
advance only works while accellerating or reving in neutral. both are wrong.
if you suddenly open the throttle in either neutral or while driving vacuum
drops quickly(as stated in your copy/paste from your "reference) as does the
advance the vacuum provides. so, you either don't understand the link or are
so convinced you are correct that you are blinded. the link you provide to
"back" you, is directly contradicting your post. it is evident to everyone.
so i again must suggest you take your own advice and take mechanics 101 and
to also get a vacuum guage. you may become enlightened by what you see, but
you probably won't admit it. i wouldn't expect someone like you to do that.

no need, i have a vacuum guage in my Torino GT, and a Mallory Unilite in my
vw(009's are for chumps that don't understand how vacuum advance works, so
you probably have several) they both work the same, but neither work as you
state.
