Default power brake vacuum
I`m switching from an edelbrock carb to a holley dp. There is no port for the power brake booster, where do I go with this line for vacuum?

You can use the direct tap that's in the intake, between the carb & dist.

it normally plugs into a full manifold vacuum source on the base of the carb. If the new Holley doesn't have this you can drill a hole directly in the intake itself and install a fitting to run the power brake booster off of I believe.
