74 Slant 6 Bogs & Stalls Under Load / 30 mph

Hoping someone might be able to help me with my next query…

I have to admit that I’m hesitant to pose the question for fear of another sidetracked discussion relative to reading versus research and/or what I will or will not enjoy, complete or be able to afford. That’s just impolite ego unchecked.

I’m no dunce, but I’m not a mechanic. I am however trying to learn to repair a car which holds sentimental value for me. I know the difference between reading and research just as well as I know the difference between a knowledgeable person with a bad attitude and a knowledgeable person comfortable and secure enough to help another… to understand that we sometimes arrive in the same place for different reasons.

In short, I’m asking questions to those willing to help. I’m not enduring anything resembling a disparaging attitude from anyone. If you forgive my ignorance in your area of expertise, I’ll forgive yours in mine.

Heres my question:

Bought a NOS Carter BBS for 73 Dodge truck. (Weber carb no is in the 6xxx series, I don’t have it with me)

I’m wondering if this is a non emissions carb with fewer vac ports that I’ll be putting on a 74 Swinger with emissions equip that won’t have anywhere to plug in.

Put another way, I see a thousand hoses. This BBS got enough holes?

If so, advice? Anyone who can walk me through what I might encounter so that I might gain a better understanding prior?

I continue to pore over every diagram I can find comparing the current Holley 1945 to the 73 truck BBS.

You likely understand what you see, Im trying to.

Again, I welcome your advice. I have no time for your disrespect.

Thanks

Gregg
I haven't seen any disrespect. Maybe some car guy ribbing. The post you speak of has given perhaps the most information as all the rest combined. It's not our jobs to powder your butt and tuck you in at night. We're car guys. We're smartasses. We're also a family. We poke fun, we recognize stupid questions (none of yours were) with the poke of a stick. We're glad to help, but if you get your feelins hurt, that's because of your perception, not because of our conveyance. I don't think there's anyone here who will blatantly be disrespectful of a member without provocation. My advice is, rather than look through the forest of great information to find the one blade of grass you think is an "insult" is to concentrate on the forest. An optimistic outlook is always best.
