No. The vacuum advance only kicks in under conditions of high vacuum such as
light-throttle freeway cruising. It's there because a lean mixture is harder
to ignite. As soon as you get on the throttle, vacuum drops and the advance
goes away. It doesn't affect performance. That's why you have to block off
the vacuum advance when setting the timing.
You really only want a maximum advance of 32-36 degrees.
