Just out of curiosity JohnZ, where is that vacuum advance hose going to which port on the carb? I have seen pictures that they all go to the front port on the carburetor. Mine has it going to the rear on the quadrajet. I don't think mine is right.

That's why the Assembly Manual is such a valuable aid, as it shows all the engines and their dress.

I know all about the shielding and how much it cost but I have to go buying these parts real slow and just get the important ones now or I'll be a single guy before to long and I'm not ready to hit the bar scene at 63 years young. lol

Aw, what's another $300.00 or so.
