Does locked mean you removed the vacuum only, or removed the vacuum advance and locked the mechanical advance?

The downside is that with enough timing to run well, say 30-36 deg, it will be very hard to crank.

I removed the vacuum advance, left the mechanical and set it up with 34 total with very light springs.
