Can One Trust a $349.50 Rebuilt Carb?

[dibbons]

Just found photos of a recently sold 3854S AFB on Ebay which is pictured with the choke pull-off valve (choke vacuum diaphragm) connected to the port I use for distributor vacuum advance which is on the front of the carb right alongside the passenger side idle mixture screw.

My 3854S AFB pull-off valve is currently connected to a port on the passenger side of the carb near the front which is directly below the pull-off valve (which you can see in the photo is free/open). On page 14-58 of my Plymouth 1965 Service Technical Manual we find it showing my hose arrangement is correct. Just be careful when you purchase stuff online.

Any Port in the storm, I guess.

As long as your pull off is on a direct vacuum port it will be good.

Silly Q.
Distributor Vacuum advance...
Above or below the throttle plates or manifold Vacuum?

What would be the proper stock location on a 69 383 4 speed?
Thanks

That one is connected to ported vacuum. Kind of funny actually.

The one on the side.

The one on the side.

Where would the vac advance go on this Edelbrock AVS?
Looks like 2 front ports available on either side.

 

[SGBARRACUDA]

The one on the pass side. You want a ported vacuum source.

Looks awful sooty.

Yea.
I took my kid to school the other morning and was running late, didn't warm it up.
It was bucking and backfiring a bit, that's prob the soot.
