On the b. board a member mentioned that an "old hand" showed him how to tune his engine using a timing light and a vacuum gauge. Can anyone explain how to do this. I have a chevy 250 stock.
Thanks.

Take a look at this site: Ignition Timing for Modified Engines. It provides a good method for checking your advance curve with a timing light.
