I just put an edelbrock manifold and carb on my chevy 355 but the only thing I have hooked up to it is the fuel line, so I was wondering if I can drive my car for about 15 mi. a day for 3 days till i can get someone who knows what theyre doing to hook up all the vacuum lines? Is it possible to drive a car with all the vacuums plugged off?

      Sure just plug off any vacuum port you’re not using.

      I’d at least make sure you’re power brake booster line is hooked up or you’re going to have a hard time driving it.

      For accessories like the distributer which improves mileage other vacuum port to move you should also have vacuum port to the distributer which improves mileage.
