Default What the ?????

Put on my new Edelbrock carb and the engine ran like crap. Killed it and started looking for vacuum leaks. Pulled the 3/8ths PVC off the front of the carb and it was full of carbon granuals! Port was plugged!

Pulled the carb and cleaned it out. Carbon dust everywhere. No idea how much of this got in the engine.

What happened guys? How much damage you think it did?
