Hey gang..
Does anyone know off hand what sort of vacuum readings I should have out of the distributor advance port on the metering block in a 440 six pack application?

At idle,nothing.Running depends on cam spec's and engine speed.

It's an OEM cam........... Guess I just need to verify via a vacuum gauge it's drawing vacuum upon increased throttle movement...

the port should draw a little vacuum at idle. tests i've run show about 4 inches of vacuum on my cars. there are probably a lot of variables; like idle rpm, initial timing, air/fuel mix, etc.

Thanks guys.. My point is I'm trying to figure if I'm getting the proper vacuum to the good ole' distributor.. Everything about the motor is stock. No aftermarket anything in regards to OEM components.
