Where do you get your vac from? Do the kads supply the appropriate
kind of port for this dist?

Most carbs, if they have a vac port at all, provide a vac that
increases with increasing load, which would be appropriate for a vac
only dist, but you are asking for, very appropriately, a vac port that
only comes on at low throttle, while crusing. Some of the OE Solex
carbs do this but I didn't think that this was normal with any of the
aftermarket carbs.

I'm not that familiar with carbs, so I'm hoping to learn something
here.
