You need to find a vac port below the throttle plate (butterflies). If there is no provision on the carb. throttle plate? you could "T" into the tranny vac line. Any plugged ports on the intake you could tap into? Anywhere on the intake ... or... intake side of the throttle plate should get you vacuum @ idle.

hi . i ran into this problem awhile back and i found that if you have the idle crankedmup to high you'll loose vacume or it might not work. from the front ports an the carb?. don't know exactly why but you can give it a shot. and make sure that your timming is correct.
