Edelbrock performer RPM

Hi guys, I plan on getting a Edelbrock Performer RPM intake for my 360. My question is where do I connect the vacuum line from the power booster? It does not look like there is a place to hook it up on the rear of intake..

You would connect that to the back of the carb.

Performer rpm? A regular performer might be a better choice. Or an air gap

'Don't think Air Gap manifold(s) are available for an FE.

I see your planning to get an intake. So you don't have it at hand.

It should have the vac. port right behind the carb. Or in front of carb. depends which intake you get.
And if for some reason theirs is not any. Then use a aluminum carb spacer tall enough you can drill a hole and tap with 3/8 pipe thread and screw in a nipple and hook the P/B there..

Most all 4brl carbs have the base nipple for the PCV.

An edelbrock carb has 4 vacuum connections. 1 ported, 1 manifold, 1 PCV, and one plugged connection for the booster.

The Performer RPM has the port on the front of intake, driver side. You can see how I routed mine in this pic for the most I only had two options and I chose booster there, and PCV to throttle body.
Oh, and if you have an Automatic, I ran the vacuum to back of throttle body, carb should be similar.
