Did the 1979 kz650b come with vacuum advance?

I bought this 1979 KZ650 b3 2 months ago as a project bike. It does not have any vacuum advance and I am wondering if that is the standard or has it been modified?
thanks

No!  it does not have vacuum advance.
It has a mechanical advancer driven by the crank behind the right hand ignition cover.

Thanks! I did find the mechanical advance and it seems to work as designed.
