What? too tight? Never been there. That's a new one on me.

Usually the ports in the carb are very small and the vacuum leak is barely
noticable but it is still a good idea to plug it up. The port may get
clogged with dirt and render it useless in the event you care to reconnect
the retard module.
I bought one of those valves once. Thought I needed it (but not on a 71).
I recently sent it off to Germany to someone who did.
If you think all these configuration changes are confusing, a car parts
counter man once told me that Ford would change emissions controls midyear
during the 70's. ;-)
