Edelbrock intakes
OK so they have the vacuum port on the runner? Can you still connect your vacuum line to the port and not interfere with a holley carb?

Re: Edelbrock intakes (Guru_4_hire)
Test fit it before you install the intake. If the carb is a double pumper then there could easily be an interferance problem. The port in the manifold is a tapered pipe so you can run a tap through it to seat the fitting lower.
I have a Power Plus intake (Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap knockoff) and had to use a 1/2 inch spacer under the carb and run the vacuum fitting all the way down to clear the Demon double pumper.

Re: Edelbrock intakes (1979toy)
do they make a right angle fitting that could be screwed down in there?

I've found 90* vacuum fittings in Zips catalog and others catalogs in 1, 2, and 3 ports. Just no big 1/2" 90* for the brake booster. This larger 1/2" fitting is usually on the carb baseplate.
