A/C (converted r134a)
3.07 Open rear end
Gauge cluster was upgraded to have a Tach, which still coming off the coil. So no problems with the tach!

I am using full manifold off the intake tree behind the carb to go into the distributor - I had to split it off from the client control vacuum reservoir. This old 72 Qjet only has the one full vacuum port in the front for PCV Valve & EEC charcoal canister. I wished that vacuum port on the distributor was pointed 90
degrees and not straight down - its a right PITA to get the hose connected!
I find it hard to think there isn’t a vacuum port on the front for your vac pot!
You could tee into the choke pull off hose instead.
You got a pic of the front of your carb?
