I believe you might get some hissing from carb spacer/ gasket being loose too.
Not supposed to have any vacuum leaks anywhere :)

bypassed the MSD box--- ran with coil only ....
....same thing.
could it be the petronix electronic points?
Going to put the stock points back in and check it.

Are the carb nossels where the needles slide in and out. plastic? looks plastic from the outside where the choke slides down.

steal vacuum line from the rear carb to the vacuum advance on the distributor plugged. ran new vacuum line, will put the MSD, distributor, and rear carb back together tomorrow night and hope for the best.
