......which by the way, what is the significance of the star washers? Is this because the 'star' portions bite into the metal?

I agree, a great thread with lots of good information flow. On your two questions, the star washers ensure a better "bite" between the cable end and the base metal. If you only have one put it on the bottom, between the base & the cable end, IMO. On the vacuum line and setting the timing, you want to disconnect at the distributor and plug the line. A golf tee works great for plugging the line.

I hope that you choose to stick around and participate, offering advice where you feel you're adding value or asking questions if you don't understand what's being asked/answered. It's all good!!
