I was wondering if anyone can tell me the proper way to connect up the vacuum lines from the distributor to the (2) holly teapots on my 1957 t bird. Right now there is no vacuum line to either carb. The car is a 3 speed with an over drive. In addition, this t-bird appears to have the carburetors rotated 180 degrees from what I have seen in pictures, I was told that this was required in order to allow the air cleaner housing to clear the hood scoop.
