When I purchased this 292 there was no hose connected to the vacuum line on the distributor. There is a threaded hole at the base of the carb. I plugged it to keep bugs out. [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn214/jfnar/68%20GMC/IMG_02001_zpsqiavozsr.jpg[/IMG]
Is this the correct location to connect a vacuum line for the distributor? If not, what is it for and where is the correct place to get the distributor vacuum? Thanks.

Jeff

Take a look - is the inner end of that hole above or below the throttle disc when the throttle is at curb idle?

Take that plug out (to let the bugs out smile ). That's the one for the vacuum advance.
