That my good man is a Vacuum port .. i think its just a shallow hole with some threads..For the option of drilling it...But im going to check that right now!

Redneck, One thing that caught my attention. Back on reply #10, you said "the back plates open & close when I open the secondaries". That being a vacuum secondary carb, the rear plates should not move with the vehicle sitting still. Please explain in more detail. I can see a gasket under the spacer to manifold, but how about between the carb & spacer? How about some pictures now from a little farther away? Lorne

Ok..So i went back out...Took carb and adapter off....both gaskits looked good...But i replaced them...And it idles now!!!...But it runs like a horse with a broken leg...Rough idle...Going put put put....Idle is a lil higher then it should be...And the screw is backed out...Now it was running fine before the gaskit failed...Any idea on why its running so bad now?
About the Secondaries...I manual open them by pushing the actuator up while turning the linkage

Good! It sounds like your making headway now. Lorne

Is there suction at that threaded hole in the back of your adapter when it's running? Did you put your finger over the hole?

[Redneckchevy]

no suction...Its a dummy hole..wish it wasn't i could use it...Later on im going to set my vacuum again...Then try to time her some and see if that will help some....Then im going to let it run and re check the torque on the carb bolts....
