Unless you are going to hook the original carb up, with all the original vacuum lines and emissions stuff, I would just get a single vacuum advance unit.

These two diagrams show a single line to the distributor for 1984.

I have tryed everything, even replaced a good vacuum canister to see if mine was messed up.... I have gone from stiff'est and moved it 1/2 turn and tryed it and 1/2 turn all the way to softest, and still ran the same.... I am replacing the dizzy tomarrow so I will see if that fix's anything. I will keep you all up to date!
