    Just curious... what is the machined grove in the intake manifold for? There is no hole at the end of it and I see it as a potential vacuum leak, Should I make new gasket to cover it?

    It's a vacuum channel. If the carb's base doesn't have the corresponding hole for the end of that groove then there's no problem with using a gasket w/o the hole.
