This comment sent me back to my old notes.  It seems the later cars and MGBs 
ran the vacuum advance from the manifolds.  This was considered the prefered 
position for dual carb cars as the manifold offers a more constant vacuum 
than the one carb which, for the most part, only feed two cylinders in the 
four cylinder cycle.  Does anyone else have any thoughts?
