It runs? Not sure what you mean by no vacuum? At the ports on the bottom of the carb?

Could be wrong base gasket plugging hole off?

No vacuum at carb hmm most carbs at low idle will not have any like rpm is 500-550 until you raise engine rpm. But the intake manifold will have the 17-20 inches of vacuum. The carb port goes to dizzy vac. advance. So it all maybe ok and your worried for no reason ...orich
