Good day Y'all! I have a 1986 Silverado C10, 350, 350 turbo. I am taking my Edelbrock carb off and putting on a Quickfuel Brawler. Currently the brake booster vacuum line goes to the back of the carb. In the directions it says if the pvc valve from the valve cover goes to the carb keep it that way. OK, I can deal with that however, there is now no place to run the booster vacuum! On the back of the intake (aluminum edelbrock), there is already a line (possible from the trans? I have not traced it yet) in the only open spot to put it. What are everyone's tips and suggestions for this issue?

Thanks,
Mike

Run your brake booster to the one on the back of the carburetor and get a combination vacuum fitting for the manifold for the PCV, heater control and automatic transmission. Get a short one so it clears the bowl on the carb. You may need a spacer under the carb. Something like that.
