this is a 6+ year old tread
I just adjusted the timing on my 305E. I think I set the initial timing (yes with the vacuum disconnect) to around 10 degrees and then used the manifold vacuum. The advantage is that you get timing added to your idle after you start the engine, but you won't have hard start issues due to too much advance when it's turning over.
