As to maladies that can afflict the vacuum advance, I have had a case on a 4G63 where the vacuum advance diaphragm chamber on the atmosphere side of the diaphragm got so packed with dirt/lint entering where the actuator comes out of the vacuum advance metal shell that the vacuum advance could not move at all.
On that model the actuator opening was oriented skyward, just right for gravity to do the rest.
