Carb vacuum questions

[Dredge]

I bolted a Carter carb on my 318 poly and took a "best guess" at the vacuum set-up...obviously not a very good one. This is stamped Carter 0-2425. The internet searches haven't been very helpful. Can anyone tell me what goes where and what gets capped off ?

THX!

Well, I am going to try. #5 should have manifold vac all of the time to pull the choke open a little until it warms up,looks like this is correct. #7 looks like a big one, manifold vac to the pcv valve. #3 looks like the carb bowl vent, that went to the charcoal can. You don't have one so let's leave it open for now. The only one that your truck uses is for vac advance on the distributor. My guess is #4, to check this plug the rest up and start the truck. With it idling slowly, there should be no vac at that port. Slowly open the throttle and as the rpms come up so should the vac. If it does hook it up and you are in business. If not, plug it and check the other unused ports for proper behavior. That carb looks like it came off of a newer vehicle, that is why it is full of extra ports. Good luck, Erik

THX! The carb came off of a 'Cuda-not too sure what year

That sounds like a better guess than mine. I'll give it a shot

Well I was close. How does it run now? Erik

That setup was in a Chilton's for 1967-197? Dodge trucks. It's running much better, but I still have a few weird bugs to sort out. Idle isn't quite right-stalls constantly at low rpm- then there's the choke ...I'll make it all work somehow.
