Re: 408w running poorly
Add some more advance. I would start at 10* and go in 2* increments until vacuum reading is maxed out at idle.
You have the next step up cam that I have. I have the 274XE cam. That cam, in that 408, should have tons of torque through the rpm range. Yes, you can disconnect the brake boost for a leak test. Here is a helpful link to diagnose possible problems by using a vacuum gauge: http://www.tradervar.com/Engine%20Pe...um%20Gauge.htm
