I ran into an issue with the carb and the 3 port tee I added the brass fitting onto, its too tall now and runs into the vacuum advance on the carb. I thought about removing the brass and trying it again but chickened out and tried finding a new port. I bought a 2 port instead and then realized I had recently in this restoration included a vacuum gauge in the instrument panel. So my question is can I run a t fitting off the port to run both the instrument vacuum gauge and then have the other end run to the transmission? Does that mess things up?
