Ont the top of the carburetor there is a port that I have no idea what it is for or where it connects to. Any help will be greatly appreciated. John [image][/image]

Yup, just leave it open. Won't hurt a thing. Best thing you could do is eliminate it (2BBL) with the manifold. What I mean is, take the 2BBL manifold off, and put a 4BBL on it. I did with my 360, loved it. Never looked back.

This one never stumbled !! That one vents differently.

Big on the bottom of course is the PCV. Good carbs. I love BBD's. I better model would be one with a "tin top." I think '76 and newer. The ones that have a bent PCV fitting are for slants.
