Where to hook up vacuum
I asked on here a while back how to hook up the vacuum on my 66 automatic. I found out that they go to the carb, but when I went to hook them up, the carb only has one port which I assumed is for the advance. Should I hook up the tranny to the manifold?

I figured if I split off of the carb, that would tak away vacuum from both things. What is ported manifold vacuum? Just straight from the manifold? I have a little manifold vacuum thing that screws into it.

Where do you think that port on the carburetor gets its' vacuum from ? The manifold, of course.
You can tap into the manifold right behind the carburetor, Just take out the plug and add a port.

On my 68, and as you can see on Soarings 65, there is a port just back of the carb coming of the intake manifold. Mine has a brass fitting with four connections (two of which are currently in use) screwed into the manifold.

Hey, is that retainer bolted to the valve cover for the wire loom stock?
