Vacuum problem from the darkest depths of HELL - Part ... (I lost count)

2FastLX · 07-14-2001, 08:03 AM

Well, after trying everything and double & triple checking everything I guess I am just doomed to have 5 inches of vacuum. We figured it had to be the rocker adjustment, but that wasn't it.

This engine has plagued me long enough. I'm going to look at a 351 block today I hope and will start rounding up parts for the swap. Then I'm taking a sledge hammer to my current engine for stress relief purposes

Good Luck! Can't go wrong with a 351.

Have you checked for an INTERNAL vacuum leak?
