Carb Switch

Ok guys im getting ready to put my engine back together and i think i have all the parts i need. i am going with a edelbrock performer carb a weiand street avenger dual plane manifold. Mallory 4309 regulator and i got a after market hei distributor to run the whole darn thing. Did i forget anything and can anyone post some pics of yours so i can see what you guys did when it comes to vacuum ports. I used to have a port on my tbi manifold for the break booster but i dont think i have on on my new manifold. I only see a single port right behind where the carb sits on the manifold. But i could be wrong since i am new to this.

Since you have a manual transmission, a double pumper would be a lot better.

Flip the Performer and use the proceeds for a DP.
