[DML] Timing procedure

["Jeff Phillips" <jeff.phillips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having looked through the archives I've still a question on the 
correct timing procedure. Just so I'm sure, although the manual 
doesn't say to, you should disconnect the vacuum advance and also 
block off the disconnected hose correct?  Everything timed out great 
when I did this, and the mechanical and vacuum advances advanced per 
the specs in the manual however when I reconnected the vacuum advance 
line the timing gets pretty far advanced and it doesn't run as 
smootly when it was blocked.  
The timing at idle is about 30' when all of the vacuum lines are 
connected, does this seem in the ballpark?  

How critical is the the delay valve as mine beeds down in around 3-
4secs instead of the 10 per the manual?  

Is there a way to test the vacuum solenoid as far as when it should 
open, I really don't know what the function of the vacuum solenoid is.
