Total advance--limiting the vacuum advance.

It's been a while since I had one with a vacuum advance. But I think it limits the amount it's advanced. Not when it happens.
I had the same problem when I built this motor a few years ago. Advanced to 60 deg also.

It will go to 60 deg when the allen wrench is turned fully cw or fully ccw. It doesn't change the distance that the rod can move.

The advance just comes in later. I know the adjustment is working because the "points plate" gets much stiffer to turn when fully adjusted.

I have a similar kit in my GMC pickup and the kit included a "cammed" mechanical stop that limits total travel. I have a similar idea I want to try when the weather breaks here in the northeast.
