    Default Vacuum advance outlet on Varijet II?

    hey everyone, ive recently swapped my black motor from E.S.T ignition to the HEI Electronic dizzy off a blue motor. My car has been in the mechanics and i've been told that i'll need to get the carby off a blue motor aswell, cause theres no outlet to run the vacuum advance off of.
    my question is there a way i can hook up my vacuum advance from the Varijet II carby on my black motor? or do i actually have to get a carby from a blue motor for it?

    All you need to do is hook it to the inlet manifold somewhere. It runs to a direct vacuum feed off a carby. Usually towards the bottom there is a fitting that runs into the venturi of the carby. So any vacuum line off the manifold will work.
