Ok I'm not standing over your car looking at it but I'll help you the best I can. You need the hose to the vacumm advance. The pcv hose.

Not with his stock distributor. Where he has it hooked up (timed/ported vacuum) is where it wants to be.
The distributor advance (vacuum & weights) isn't "tuned" for manifold vacuum.

Alright guys finally got around on installing my carb and now the dilemma is the throttle linkage?!? Does anyone have and can post a picture of ur throttle linkage and kickdown how you have it connected? I think I may need a new throttle bracket and line to connect to the carb! So any pics would be super helpful thanks! I got a 1405 edelbrock
