You'll still get advance only it will all come in at once and you get 20deg over what you set it too at idle. It's actually a pretty good setup for the guys who want to lock out the spark advance on harry race motors.

uhm you can use it just fine, just leave your ecm in and map sensor connected. You will of course have to burn chips to get a better spark curve than the stock one. I ran a carb on my setup with the 7747 ecm running spark for 2 years
