I have the small block running in my coupe but after looking at the 68 shop manual I��m starting to question what I did! I have the stock dual vacuum distributor and only hooked up the vacuum line from the carb. I installed a chrome water neck so I don��t have the temperature valve. I didn��t think I needed the extra advance to cool the car if it got hot and just capped off the appropriate ports! Is this right?

Another question I have is that the 4300 carb has a port on the upper backside of the carb. What is this for? I have it plugged right now!

You should only use the primary chamber for the advance. The rear port is for a valve in the original air cleaner assembly.

That��s what I was thinking but the shop manual has the air cleaner one from the intake!

Thanks
