So I'm looking for hints to what i should try next about solving my vacuum leak . The carb is new to the car. It's a weber model 1940 stuck on a 61 170cid. At idle, the carb is barely pulling any vacuum, but it is enough above idle to allow me to drive her around town somewhat decent. The diaphragm in the distributor is newer, and holds vacuum when i apply it. I can physically hear a whistle coming from the carb as well but it's hard to pinpoint it. It is coming from the within venturi.
Tonight i took the carb off the base plate, and replaced the gasket for good measures, but she still isn't doing anything different to suggest any improvement.
Also, all fittings from the carb to distributor have been checked, and hold a good seal.
Cheers
