Weber Carb Rebuild Question

I am trying to rebuild the Weber carb on my 1996 7.4L Bravo 3 engine. The serial number on the carb is 9779S 1525.
The problem I am having is that the manual for the Weber carb (under the adults only section) says to remove 9 bolts to separate the top and bottom section of the carb. I can only find 8 bolts. Anyone know if the last bolt is hidden inside somewhere or maybe on the bottom of the carb. I can't find it anywhere and the picture in the manual is pretty vague as it is hard to see all the bolts it is referring to.
Also the directions say the carb should have a vacuum hose, however there was not vacuum hose on the carb. The only "hoses" that were connected to the carb were the fuel sight tube and the fuel line. Was there a modification done to the Weber carbs where the vacuum hose was removed? I'm thinking I have the electric choke so there would be no need for the vacuum hose. Does this sound correct?
Thanks

Re: Weber Carb Rebuild Question

do you have a link to the manual you described...?

Re: Weber Carb Rebuild Question

The vacuum hose was for the older non-electric choke pull-off. The diagrams in the Merc manual are for the older as well. Find a parts break-down for a Edelbrock 1409 or 1410, and you should find your missing bolt.
