Afternoon All-
Hoping one of you may have some experience to help with my current question. I'm in the process of swapping intake manifolds on my 79. Truck is a 454, 4speed, with AC. The AC is fully removed and I do not plan to reinstall. While swapping the manifold to a Weiand Street Warrior, I noticed the vacuum switch in the front of the stock manifold had cracked connections. When I went to remove and reinstall on the new manifold, it fell apart in my hands. I ordered a new one, and have that at home, but now i'm curious? Do I need it? Truck is a carb 454, manual transmission, and stock outside of the edelbrock carb, and headers. Just wondering if it's necessary, or If I can just block it off on the new manifold? I looked up other threads, but nothing that specifically answers that question. Hoping someone can help.
Cheers,
Kyle
