Yes.

Connect a timing light to #1. With the light shining on the timing mark,
and the vacuum advance disconnected, the mark should appear to move evenly
as you rev the engine up (centrifugal advance). To test the vacuum advance,
you'll need a source of vacuum, like a Mity-Vac. Apply the vacuum to the
advance module and watch the timing mark move. Or, just take the dizzy to a
shop with a "distributor machine" if you can find one.

That's what my book says too.
