Help with Holley 1850.

I am putting a holley 600 cfm 1850 carb on a truck and need to know where to put the PVC hose and the power brake hose. There is one port on the passenger side. There isn't one one on the back. Does this carb not except two big vacuum sources? Could I tap into the manifold somewhere?

I have my brake booster line going to the manifold, and my PCV running into the big port on the carb(1850 also). I have the front small port capped and my vacum advance to the small port on the right that is above and forward of the big port.

Thanks Todd. Are you using the port on the manifold right behind the carb? It has a Edelbrock Performer on it. If I'm not mistaken, the transmission vacuum is going into it on this truck. I'll have to look for another port when I get home.

Your Welcome! Glad I could help. I do have the booster going to the port behind the carb, but there is several places it could go.

Hey, I just noticed your in Bowling Green. Ever race at the track? I went last April to Beech Bend Bash for f-bodies. I'm in Paducah.

No, I haven't ever been down the track, but I've been to Beach Bend more times than I can count. I almost went to the last Bash but I had to work. I am going to join KY Fbodys.org ASAP. I have several friends that are members including my brother. Shoot me an e-mail sometime and we can talk more. todd200@hotmail.com

I'm a member of kyfbodies.org also. I have the same username on there as here. I hope there is another Bash this year at Beech Bend. Maybe we can meet there sometime. I'd like to see your ride.
