Langdon's says to use the vacuum ports off the Holleys for the distributor advance (above the throttle plate). Vacuum line is going to Langdon's mini HEI with vac advance. I've seen where others have apparently used the vacuum port on the Offy. Any advantage of one over the other? If using the Holley port, I assume that you hook to both and not just one via a tee in the line. Want to set up the vacuum line(s) once and not redo it if one is better. | | |

Using the port in the manifold won't allow for that as it is a constant vacuum.

The vaccum in the intake isn't actually constant-it varies with RPM and depends in part on the cam- a bigger cam produces less vacuum is the general rule. So, ported might not be enough.
