The rear block off plate is suppose to be silver or natural?
Gif the rear vacuum port, does the brake booster fitting attach to it alone? Or is there a brass fitting with two ports on it, one for booster and one capped?
When I got my car booster fitting was attached directly to rear port on manifold.
And how far does the by pass tube stick out of manifold to water pump.
Thanks guys

The block off plate is zinc silver. The vacuum fitting for the booster was fitted to the intake port directly behind the carb facing the firewall. The fitting that attaches to the intake for the power booster vacuum could vary in style . Some had no extra provisions for vacuum. Others had one or more. If more than needed the extra was capped. By pass tube length out of the intake could vary in length. Many are short because of corrosion. If installing I would like 1 inch .
Thanks Bob,
How about the carb to manifold studs? I see silver and I see darker colored ones and both say are correct. Did they change with though the year?

The silver ones are typical.
