Hello,

I have just put an '85 351w w/ an Edelbrock Performer intake (non-egr) and a Holley 4180(until I get my Q-jet) in my '68 Bronco. What is the best setup to route vacuum lines while keeping the necessary ones to advance my distributor (duraspark) and allow the carb to function correctly. Engine is de-smogged.
Thank you...

Which vacuum lines do you need?? Vacuum advance for dist., PCV, power brakes...? Is the carb new? Should have come with a description of all the vacuum ports.

the large tube on the carb can be used for the PVC valve then there should be a small tube coming out of the metering block next to the fuel bowl site plug that is a timed port use it for your vacuum advance. all other ports can be capped if your runnind power brakes run them off your manifold

Thanks for the replies. I have NO power accessories, just the vacuum for the distributor. Do I need any separate vacuum for the secondaries???

the secondaries have an internal vacuum source there should be no other tubes to hook up you do have a 4160 not a 4180 right? if your secondary diaphram cover has a tube coming out that can be blocked off it is an equalizer tube for running 2x 4 barrel carbs
