Just wondering why? I have a 62 235 in it, and it may have more vacuum than the carb. was designed for?

I hope we get some replies here. I was wondering if leaky guides would not show up as a problem with a downdraft manifold but would on the updraft setup.

A carb that sits below the exhaust manifold and heat transfer area just might be susceptible to leakage past some loose exhaust valve guides. That normally goes down the exhaust system with no evidence.
