My dad says they'll probably send out a will call to ship back to them. If we end up keeping it, even better.

Thought it was over huh?
Found the true cause... As you will see in my pictures the vac line with the tape on it goes to the valve cover. Due to the intense vacuum it puts on the system it will cause air to try to get in any way it can, even if that means through the rear main seal. The seal would act as a reed with wind creating a whistling noise.
Now the next question is how badly do I need to have this recirculation hose attached to the carb? If I leave it off it gives it a very rough idle. but when I pinch it off it runs just fine with no noise. Would a valve on the hose be okay, to adjust the vacuum so it is not as intense but to where I still have one?
Any input is appreciated.
-Thanks

in the first pic, the hose with the tape flag on it plumbed into the intake manifold is your PCV hose and should be going to your PCV valve on the right side of the engine sticking out of the lifter cover.
i cant tell what is what from the second pic except for what is probably the booster hose.
ideally, originally, the hose goes from the top of the valve cover to the air cleaner. i have seen many pics of guys who put a small conical filter on the valve cover when running a non OEM carb/air cleaner setup.

The current pcv valve goes to the top of the carburetor after the air cleaner but before the butterfly valves. I have a webber on there now and it's (the engine)been desmogged.
so you are saying the valve cover hose is going to the intake manifold? you need to swap them

Will do. Thank you, I'll upload some more to show what I have now.
you mean making a noise through the rear seal? i gotta believe its installed wrong or of poor quality
oh scratch that then.

Hopefully you can see what is going on. 2 heater hoses, one goes to heater core valve one, goes to the top of the block, one brake booster hose from the intake, and the pcv going to the carb which I have since fixed, and the valve cover that went to the intake.

what i see is.
1. you do not have a heater core in the the cab.
2. you have one of those dumb liquid intake heaters, something you are very much not going to need in the south east.

webers have the tendency to whistle, don't know why. the one on my 40 doesn't but the one on my 60 does, quite noticeably.
If it's producing a loud whistle it usually means the gasket below the carb is leaking vacuum . Check it out by using a light spray of brake cleaner while the engine is running - if it's leaking it will change idle speed .

out of curiosity....is it a 32/36 or a 38/38 weber?
