As it stands, there is no separate vac fitting on the manifold.

As it stands the mileage is around 11-12 and idle won't drop below 900 rpm even with idle screw lightly turned to seat. From last drop to seat is 1n1/2 turns and has no effect. Runs down the road at 20 mph just on idle. Not cool on snowy roads....

If you can’t get the idle lower than 900 rpm then check primary throttle plates aren’t hanging up in the bore and that they both sit the same.
