i would set it at spec with no vac advance. then set the idle and plug in the vac advance to ported vac. to check you centrifugal you can unplug the vac advance and watch the timing mark as you rev the motor, it should increase the timing by about 10-12 degrees after maybe 1500-1600 rpms then if you plug the vac in it should advance another 10-12 degrees for a total of 36-38 degrees @ 2500-3000 rpms.
