Yes it does help....thanks! I do see a port with a small brass plug which looks to be about in line with the area just above the throttle plate. I will try hooking the vacuum to that port and see if there is a difference (it performs good right now at medium to high rpm, but hesitates notably when initially stepping on the gas). Note that my Chilton's and Motor's manuals describe the 2G carb in detail but do not mention or illustrate the port in question.
