Okay, I have just finished a top-end rebuild of my 58' 235. (Pretty much had the head gone through and redone) I have got everything hooked up and running. Today I set out to get my engine dialed in with the new Carter's and the rear carb is not flowing any air, almost none at all. I can have the engine running, throttle screws all the way out, and the front carb is flowing alot more than the rear. Noticible with just putting your hand over the air horn.

The two carbs are 41'-48' Carter W1's. The only difference between the two when hooked up it that the vacuum plug on the rear carb is blocked with a pipe plug and the front one is hooked to the distributor( not while I was tuning though, had it pluged with a piece of rubber hose and a bolt) Which that may be my problem....vacuum leak at the vacuum port. I will go investigate that possibility, but if anyone sees this post and thinks of something different, please let me know! Thanks!!!
