I intend to install this dual four setup on my 327/300 hp Ford with Turbo 350. My guestion is, where do I draw vacuum for the turbo 350 and vacuum advance for distributor. The carbs are Holley 3720SB. There are ports on the front and back. Big in back, small in front. Are these okay to draw from. In addition, im utilizing a vented oil cap in the oil filler. Is that good enough for "crank case ventilation" ?
I have Carter Compition 600's on the same intake, I use the front vacuum port on each carb, one for trans and the other carb for distributor.
Well I'll be nice to another old fart from the PNW. It doesn't make any difference in what ch***is or body and engine is in as when you are working on an engine you are only concerned with that engine and not the body or ch***is it is in. Still without checking out how long you had been here and that you are 77 and have a 51 Ford you had me wondering if you were a troll from some other group when you said that your Edelbrock carbs were Holley. That's a lot of carb for a 327 unless it has the cam and goodies to handle it though.
You could use the road draft port near the distributor with a pcv line to the carb base, along with the breather in the oil fill tube. Your engine with stay cleaner longer. There is a casting boss below the rear carb you could drill and tap for trans vacuum.
I was mistaken,, 1963/64 B-D thought sbc , the information say's with a Pontiac engine with 6 stromberg's We know what Op ment ,Ford Holley- Carter that questionable Seem's just new to Hobby or testing !
If you only have the single breather in the fill tube you'll need the pcv in the old road draft tube location hooked to the big port on back of carb.
Just my opinion but if the 327 is a good running engine it should move the Ford right along. If you want more "go" the dual 4v might get you some, or more bling for sure, but might be shooting self in foot.
