Set it at an idle (7 degrees or so) with the vacuum advance line to the distributor disconnected and plugged.
If you have the vacuum advance connected to the appropriate "ported" carburetor connection, it will stay at the same degrees at idle when you connect it back up.
If you have the vacuum advance connected directly to the intake manifold vacuum, the reading will be very different at idle (it will be advanced more than the 7 degrees). This is OK, just make sure to set initial timing w/o vacuum connected.
As Tsillay says, the vacuum advance can be removed if you are running a race car amd high RPMs. Locking the plates together lets your points rev higher without the slop. For a street car though, vacuum advance is good for performance. Or, fit an electronic distributor and you can keep the vacuum advance and not have the high RPM points problem.
