Thanks very much for the pic...is that your vehicle? If so, boy is your engine clean! I'm jealous!

So, this vacuum hose controls ignition timing advance... so blocking it keeps the engine from advancing. And shorting the resistor retards the timing? So, I'm retarding my timing and keeping it from advancing. Is that correct?
