Does that thing produce enough vacuum to run the auto tranny?

Sell the fatty pignose, and save the money you were going to spend on the other one and get a nice early wide 5 car

That's mine. 1776 with a Weber Progressive sitting on top.
Yes, plenty of Vac to run the auto.
Just kinda ugly

Here's my setup, hasn't caused any problems in my sqaure other than some leaks around the the raised portion in the engine cover that let some exaust smell in. Sealed it up with silicone and its fine.

Make sure you pull the Idle jets and douche them out with Carb Cleaner, then compressed air. Helps to clean out the bowl / mains too.
I'd be interested to know what jets you are using.
The redline weber site has a decent blow up and some tuning procedures.
Good Luck. Don't expect super performance. Mine runs ok, on a brand new 1776, 009 setup. I'm going to try out an FI vacuum distributor this weekend hopefully.
