When we discuss manifold vs port, are we referring to the vacuum signal for the distributor advance? Or the vacuum signal for the internal workings of the carburetor?

I've heard of this issue with the YF before. My "backup" carb is a 2101s (auto choke version of 2100)...a pretty nice rebuildable core. Would have preferred a manual choke but got this one pretty cheap on eBay.

Have some other issues to resolve (ignition, etc) before I can completely give up on the "B" that's on the engine today.

The engine is a 1962 model 235. I know the 2101s isn't spec'd for this application, but given that it is designed for the right displacement and uses manifold vac like the 3211s...I am hopeful that it will work.
