I'm trying to figure out why the vacuum from the carb that runs to the distributor isn't working. I have my carb tune-up kit but got a bit hesitant when I looked how complicated it was. | | |

I have not had any problems with this setup. The other vacuum line coming out of the T-fitting is for a under-dash installed vacuum gauge. This is where the vacuum wipers worked from also, until I changed to an electric wiper motor. | | |
