  Does anyone have photos to share of the 1940 ford valve chamber cover 85 hp. If not can anyone describe where the vacuum ports are located. Thanks for your help.

  There are two ports on the driver side bottom. They are angled in, otherwise would appear to be mounting holes for the manifold to the block. The front port is for the distributor, the rear for the windshield wiper. If your car has a vacuum operated Columbia, it would take its vacuum from a plate under the carburetor.
