Hi,  I just got off the phone with a fellow enthusiast.  He said that if I
disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle valve that runs to the vacuum
unit on the distributor, and suck on it, I should be able to see the rotor
retard... or at least move.

I did this, and I couldn't notice any movement in the rotor.  Might my
vacuum advance/retard unit be defective?
