There is a ported vac spot on the Varajet carb, it's just blocked off.
I had mine drilled out years ago when I ditched the EST.

I didn't realize you could drill it out. Wish I knew that back then - I loved my old VK, even dream about it sometimes - although I traded it in back in 1993 and haven't seen it again since. Engine no. was VL461912 if anyone has it - beige Wagon, coded trims and bumpers, blacked around windows per the Berlina - interior was avocado green. Qld rego was 692CUH. Probably a toaster or washing machine by now - miss it though.

t the vac advance line into the ported vac line the egr is connected to.

Does the ported vac line for the EGR act the same way as the vac line on the VH carby?

This is a 5 year old thread,but anyway this is what I did when I scrapped the EST crap
I replaced the dissy with a VH one and for the vac advance I broke into the Vacuum unit

How did you break into the vacuum unit? Did you drill into it? I like Boozers idea of going into the EGR port but it doesn't seem like fellas have been doing that but i don't know why.

I just cut into the small black hose and added a T piece.
It's probably in the wrong place but it works for me.

Does the VK carby have a vacuum hose on it?

If it works and you are happy with it thats what counts. I have a VH carby on the VK and it has its own vacuum port so the vac line from the dizzy went there.

I put in a T piece to connect the water feed but i am looking for another spot on the carby that is separate to go into.
