Missing Vacuum Port?
Hey guys, just a question for anyone who might have had to deal with this before.
I just got a used Holley 4777 (650 double pumper) and it badly needs a rebuild. No big deal, I can do that. The problem, is that the vacuum port fitting on the carb base... i mean the small one at the front of the carb, used for things like vacuum advance... is missing. It looks like the fitting itself was pulled out somehow.
Is there a way to fix this? Or would I be better off to just plug the hole with epoxy or something and forget about it?

You should be able to tap one back in if you find a spare of the right size. Of course, finding one the right size is why a lot of us don't throw away old carbs . . .
