ported vacuum outlet on carburetor

Does anybody know which outlet is a "ported" vacuum outlet on an edelbrock 600. I have 3 outlets.

pass. side, middle, drivers side.

the one in the middle is too big, so it is one of the side ones.
Thanks

If ported means no vacume at idle then it is the left one. Check out their web site, they have all the info you need on it

Yes it does mean novacuum at idle. When you say left, do you mean pass. side, or driver's side??

Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot. This tube already splits once and one tube goes to a wire harness connection next to the distributor, and the other runs deep into the uncharted areas of my wire looms.

Any ideas on if I need to keep either of those tubes, or should I just split it again??

Thanks again.

Check it to be sure. Pull the line off while the car is running, ported vacuum will have no vacuum at idle.

just a little hint for everybody.
the universal way of calling left or right, forward, aft, is with yourself sitting at the pilot seat, that way theres no mistake.
and the timed port (you guys got it right) is the one on the right (passenger side), the big center one is for the PCV valve and the left is the all time vacc. port. (good to set your idle mix.)
fernando.
