If you hear a lot of sucking that could be a vacuum leak. look for a
hose that's fallen off etc.

Check the mounting bolts. In that era Chevrolet had this
brilliant idea to mount 2 barrel carbs with just 2 bolts. It just may
be loose. But do check every hose that comes off the manifold for
cracks and broken spots.
