1981 Covette carb issue

[Hello]

I posted a thread in the wrong section. I put it in the general discussion. I am working on my uncles car with a E4ME rochester carb. My question is did Chevrolet not use a rear vacuum break on the corvette. I have just the front vacuum break. The pic I uploaded is under general discussion under 1981 carb issue. Thanks

Yep, someone removed it. Stock 81's had it in place.

I can get the secondary pull off. Do you know where I can get the link rod? Also, the motor has a broken #8 intake push rod. My question is are these cams pretty durable?

regarding 81 DISTRIBUTOR ...
81 did NOT have vacuum advance.
since carb's apparently been modded ... maybe dist too?
Lotsa folks have modded 81 to install earlier HEI distributor that does have a vacuum advance ... better check to see if yours still has OE computer ECM ... and if it's controlling carb & dist ... or not.

Good stuff here. It has a section on the "electronic" Q-Jet.
