    the car does start and has a rebuilt 2 barrel carb on it but it runs like crap and has a lot of black smoke pouring out of the exhaust like the carb is loading up..has a new tune up kit as well..any ideas as to weather the vaccum will do this or are you thinking carb?

    I would say to follow that diagram, just exclude the rear diaphragm port. Maybe someone else with more dual port distributors experience can chime in.

    I would get your vacuum lines squared away first. Vacuum leaks usually cause lean conditions, not rich conditions. You may end up looking at the carb/choke system next.
