timed/vaccuum advance??

i'm a dummy once again, i didn't label the vaccuum lines when i took the 2150 off my '83. is there an idiot proof way to figure out if its timed advance or vaccuum advance when i put my new edlebrock on there??

The Fords most always used the ported vacuum for the dist. This will be the port with no vacuum at idle, only vacuum when you rev the engine.

Look on the passenger side of the intake, about in the middle. If you have some little pipes there that went to the choke on the carb, they may be hanging down in the port on the head causing interference.
