carb install questions

I've got my perfomer edel. carb and have a few install questions;
1-which vacuum brake place does it attatch, to the back of the carb or the manifold hole?
2-with stock distributor which vacuum port on front do i use, the manifold vacuum port or the timed vacuum port
3-also is my 352 timed vacuum or full vacuum?
Are there any other tricky/hard parts of this install?

Thanks
Nate

manifold hole.

timmed vac to the dist.

>3-also is my 352 timed vacuum or full vacuum?
timed is simple after the carb is open (above the plates), full is simply under the plates. You have both. Full vac is used for brakes, a/c controls, pcv etc... timed is used to adv the dist when the carb is opened up.
>Are there any other tricky/hard parts of this install?
make sure your linkage will work properly, including the tranny if you have an auto kickdown.

[QUOTE=MufassaMaxx]I've got my perfomer edel. carb and have a few install questions;

EITHER the manifold vacuum 'tree' or the porton the back of the performer.If you use the 'tree', connect 1/4" opening on back to vacuum modulator(automatic trans.) or plug it.



2-with stock distributor which vacuum port on front do i use, the manifold vacuum port or the timed vacuum port



You can use either...generally for smog, you hook to the 'timed', or ported vacuum. But for other than that....full vacuum is better IMHO



3-also is my 352 timed vacuum or full vacuum?



You can answer this one...pull the dist. advance line of dist...at idle speed, do you feel suction on line to carb? Yes? Timed....No? Full...

Are there any other tricky/hard parts of this insta
