Need help with (3) questions

Having installed the 351W in the 51 F1 the question reading the Edelbrock carburetor install manual is does the vacuum advance require advance at idle or advance only at higher RPM's ? The 351W is an 84 F-150 Hi Outut.

2nd question is regarding the Master cylinder being installed in the original location under the floor boards. Disc brakes all around. Is this a problem or should this condition be the same as any other master cylinder? I have the proportionate valve installed.

3rd question. Anyone have a link for wireing schmatic for a 1984 Ford F-150 distributor and control module ?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

For question 2 you will need a 2psi residual check valve one for the front and one for the rear disk brakes along with the adustable proportioning valve.

Thank you for the response.
The question about the vacuum is the Edelbrock #1406 4 barrell has 2 vacuum ports. One for advance at idle and the other one for above idle. You use one and cap off the other. So I'm not sure which one to use.

The info on Autozone is much appreciated. Thanks again.

Plug your vacuum advance hose into the port on the passenger side at the base of the carb.

I am not sure about this, so someone can easily say I am wrong here...

They sell disc brake kits, MC's for disc brakes...so on. I would assume they would sell replacement parts. Is it possable they would have the parts you need? The proportioning valve would be my only concearn. You can get em at junk yards if they are still good...maybe a decent speed and custom shop. Parts stores do not carry them.
