Yes, exactly my problem. When I hook up the retard side, the car won't run right (at idle or speed) I performed dwell and timing adjustments without vac attached, then I hook up the retard hose and the car dies. If I try running down the street that way, the car stutters and surges and runs lousy. If after that I hook up the hose to advance, the car runs fine. Stranger and stranger. I'll go back in and try to blast Berryman's through the idle screw hole. Maybe that'll allow me to get and idle and I can start working on my other prob. Thanks.
