NEED VACCUM HELP FAST

Ok, well i just got my ss 750 quick fuel that i bought from a guy today, I had a 600 holley, behind the carb i have a vaccum line port that is on the rpm air gap, i had it hooked to my brakes and another line that ran inside the car. Well the quickfuel is bigger then the holley and doesnt clear the "T" even with a 1'' spacer. Now what I am wondering is can I plug the pvc line, run my brake booster to the carb, and run both the distributor vaccum and the other small vaccum to the carb, the carb has three small things for vaccum.


lol i hope i didnt confuse anybody but what do you guys think?

Re: NEED VACCUM HELP FAST

The dist. vacuum needs to be on its own line. If you "T" it to something else, when that item uses vacuum it might change the signal and make the dist change timing when you havn't change rpm...If you "T" it to a vacuum gauge...then it shouldn't matter. The carb should have one larger tube, that one should be fine to use on brakes as long as it is below the throttle plates. (ie not a ported vacuum signal)
