Default Re: How to use a holly model 59 carb on 8BA engine

Sponsored Links (Register now to hide all advertisements)
The 59 AB engine has a vacuum port in the manifold, just below the carb mount surface. The vacuum source is used for the advance brake and to drive the wipers/ There is a special banjo bolt fitting that connects the brake line to the manifold an has a place to connect the wiper vacuum hose. Somewhere I heard or read the the weird banjo bolt act as a silencer? Not sure on that. So, is it possible to drill and tap a port in the same location in a 49-51 manifold?
