I have the original Q-Jet on my 72 454. Been rebuilt and seems fine. My question, is the vacume at the top front passenger side of the carb the same as manifold vacume or is this location on Q-jets considered ported vacume?
thanks

When and where is it? I would like to go but it will just be to look since mine is not done yet. I'm still working on the interior. Notice only one seat in the picture. Thanks for the reply, that outlet on my carb is were my vacume advance is currently connected. According to all my books that looks like the correct location.
Thanks

P.S. are you going to have yours there? if so I'll look ya up.
June 6th and 7th at the Riverwind Casino. I plan to go down that Saturday morning, pick up my son in Moore, and just go see the cars and network a little bit. I don't plan on participating in the judging event, so I probably won't drive the shark because of that. But I will be in the C4.
Your post indicated "top front passenger side". You should have a vacuum dashpot there to operate the choke pull-off linkage. Where is it plugged in now?
The chock pull-off comes of just below the one on the top corner about a 1/2 inch and it is angled toword the vacume pot. It was connected when I got it back from being rebuilt. The carb guy said the top corner was for the vacume advance. It has a tube coming from the distributor and when it gets to the front of the carb it curves up and connects with a piece of hose about 3 inches long. I've read about wanting manifold vacume for your advance and wondered if this was or not.
Yes it is an automatic, I did notice on Q-jet numbers the last # is even or odd for auto or 4speed. It does have the correct # for auto. My modulator vac comes off a tee on the manifold between the distributor and the carb. Passenger side to modulator and driver side to vacume canister and accessories.
