[T3] Carb o-haul part 2

["Ginger D.&Peter P." <gingerd@teleport.com>]

    I've been reassembling the last few evenings.  I was stumped on
the automatic choke for several days.  Thanks to Dave Hall's help, I
finaly made sense of it.
    I was pulling my hair out over the operation of the fast idle
cam.   And with all those levers and arms spinning around inside the
choke it was awfull confusing.  I have been dilagently flooring and
releasing the accel. pedal all winter to "set the cam".
    To make a long story shorter, the spring that holds the idle cam
against the choke flap arm wasn't.  The spring had relaxed so much
over the last 30 years, that it was slightly pushing the cam the
opposite direction.  I tried winding the spring an extra 360 deg., but
that created so much force it would overpower the electric heating
element.  So I just applied a little permanent "persuasion" to the
spring coil.
    A question:  Why does the right side carb body and throttle plate
have a vacuum drilling going from below the throttle plate and venting
to the engine compartment?  On the left, this vent is for the vac.
advance dizzy, and is drilled into the venturi area.  Should I plug
the right hole like the left (.009 dizzy for now).
