The '71 Twin carb has a similar dual vac set-up, but no complications to timing procedures - hoses stayed on and timed at TDC. Yes, on the FI because the rpm affects the advance, if you get the engine hunting, the timing changes to aggravate it. Once set right, I have no problems with either FI or carbs with twin vac.
