I was just asking him what his vacuum was at idle.

Brian-
Try an 8.5 PV.

Honestly, I think your car would respond much better with a 3310 on it, but that's more money.

Ok I opened my mouth too soon. I just thought I could add some decent knowledge in here before somebody who knew what they were talking about did. I am going back to my corner now.....

Dude, not even! I was just covering Brian's back. I really did want to know his vacuum at idle. I want to know yours, too. 8" can't be right. What is it in Park, at idle? What is your elevation?

Just to satisfy my curiosity, let's get hypothetical for a second. Let's say you were cruising down a straight level street at around 35 mph, when a little kid suddenly jumped out from behind the back of a car parked ahead and to your right. You jump on the brakes, stopping just short of hitting him. You don't lock up the tires, but if you had braked any harder, you would have.

Would the engine stall?

I will post all that up tomorrow or at least by Tuesday afternoon. I wasn’t running the vacuum gauge, my buddy that had one was. So I need to call him and see what it was running prior to putting it in gear. I will go buy one and look-see for myself.
Thanks, I know we will get it figured out.

Chris, I used to have a 3310 on it and I get better throttle response and 60' times with the double pumper (1.67 60' times)
So, with the 6.5 valve, do you think I'm leaning out on the top end, which is what many people suspect is happening?
The 8.5 valve, if I'm correct, will allow fuel enrichment sooner and close later....right?
Did you want my idle vacuum in Park or in gear?
