    Where do I plug in the vacuum gauge John?

    Yes, it's a manual with a cable. I'm using an old exhaust valve for the choke know in the dash. Rat style!

      Any manifold vacuum source will work. I usually unplug the line to the brake booster and use that if nothing else is available.

        Thx, I'll give that a try this weekend if the weather permits. 90% chance of snow tonight!

          vacuum leak or idle circuit in carb

          [ autolite 4100 has Four Corner Idle circuit if they are clean, and pulling
          ,the 4100 should should run with front two idle screws screwed softly all
          the way in (but run ragged and choppy) (it's working) ..
          Put your hand over the idling cab and see if it speeds up OR smoothes out !
          IF so ya got vacuum leak somewhere..
          also the FE manifolds distribute Fuel better with a carb spacer Or
          the factory wedge spacer... the 4100 is a great carb
          that can run with the air lid OFF . (get your carter to do that).
          try to use the factory advance if you can.
