Ok, got the carb back and does it look nice. As far as the carb number, that is a little baffling to me as there are numbers all over the damn thing. Here are a couple possibilities, "42742" and "7042210QE 0872" If neither of these are the correct number, any hints where the carb number is located would be helpful. On the front of the carb there is a vacuum port that was blocked up with rubber hose and a screw in it. The guy at the carb shop suspected it went to the distributor but that is piped off the side. Any ideas on what is might be for? Here is a picture of it, http://people.mn.mediaone.net/addss/plugport.jpg & http://people.mn.mediaone.net/addss/unkport.jpg Also I noticed a small pigtail clip just hanging in the air that is coming from a small condenser looking thing mounted to the back of the coil, here is a pic of it, hope you can see it. http://people.mn.mediaone.net/addss/pigtail.jpg This pic shows the lower or closest port running off to the distributor and on the front the plugged up port http://people.mn.mediaone.net/addss/vacport1.jpg Where should this go? Amazing the car runs with all this stuff disconnected or mickey moused! In the service manual I can only find them torqueing down a different looking carb where they say to tighten all bolts first to 36 in. lbs. then finish tightening to 144 in. Lbs. Does this sound correct?
