Believe it or not, I DO suck at tune ups. I'm the worst tune up guy on the planet. I thought I had my last tune up right until I couldn't get my vacuum over 12 inches. Turns out I had the timing so retarded that I had to crank the idle screw up so high I couldn't get much vacuum.
Now on this one, I can't find a ported vacuum source and I fear I've done the same thing. All of the ports give me manifold vacuum at about 13 inches, so my guess is that I've done the same bonehead thing again.
... and the build up and timing was because I could follow directions in a book, and I got lucky with the ignition
