As Roger said I only use gasket, torque lightly, retorque after several runs...several times, just something I got into the habit.

Howdy Y'all - - it's Gomer again !
Well, I got the carb mounted with no problem and now I have a couple more questions.
The only vacuum lines that were on the "old" carb were the PCV and the Vacuum advance, however, there are several additional vacumm ports that I had no place for. Please notice the 4 that I've marked with green arrows and see if there is any that must be used or if they are just not needed in my situation. The one with the red cap on the left was also covered on the old carb but the one on the right didn't exist on the old carb. I'm thinking that one might have been for a stock air cleaner but I really don't know for sure????


There are two capped vacuum ports in the pic below - - - one is very very small on the left and has a blue cap it is also right next to one of the air adjusting screws and I haven't a clue as to what it might be. The one on the right seems to be a PCV port that I didn't need because of the one on the heat plate that is under the carb - - - it was also under on the old carb and the old one didn't have the extra port like the new one does.


If anyone sees anything that I need to address then please let me know. I would also like to that Y'all for all our input, suggestions and comments.
