As far as I know, the only things you need to do are: 1) elimate the vacuum canister or plug the vacuum source on the carb; 2) have you distributor recurved with new springs and/or the advance stop bushing to allow the amount of total advance and the rate at which you achieve it.

Why would you want to eliminate the vacuum advance? All that's going to do is hurt your performance and fuel economy.
Im going with a side draft webber system and it requires a mechanical advance

As geronimo said, just disconnect the vacuum source. Then check the advance at 1000-1500-2000-2500-etc and make sure you have a nice smooth advance curve. I like to have full advance by 2500-3000rpm
Chris, Do i remove the spring and leave the weights, Do I need to set the weights to a certain point. Thanks Tim
You'll need the springs to control the weights. Accel sells a little kit I think with the springs in it. Most times you end up with a light and a heavy spring, but YMMV. A good timing light and patience is required for a Ford dizzy. MSD mucho easier.
