Setting up a Preditor carb

i noticed when i was going to buy one that there are no vac. ports where do you put the things like your booster for the bakes and vac advance dist.? also i thought at one point they made and idle setup seperate and you had to buy one for street use if you wanted good idle. is this true?

It's been awhile since I have messed with one. I believe that they had a couple of different versions. A friend of mine had a pair on a blown big block Chevy in his 55 Chevy. I was constantly having to adjust them because they were so sensitive to temp changes. I wouldn't use one on a street vehicle. They work best on a pull truck that only worries about WOT.
