How to properly adjust vacuum advance on distributor (1 Viewer)

What is the proper process to adjust the vacuum advance on the distributor.

The screw on the side of the vacuum advance fell out and I don't know what correct process is to set it.

I see that you can compress/squeeze the vacuum advance up to the 2 set nuts and then tighten the set screw. I don't know if that is all that is needed.

There are no adjustments possible. Hooked-up or not is all you can do.

I was watching a video on YouTube and saw a guy that was adjusting the vacuum advance. Is this something that needs to be done on a FJ40. See video -

Perhaps for a V8? This YouTuber is setting vacuum advance on idle. We generally don't do that, as it would require a manifold vacuum source.
