Sure manifold vs throttle vacuum to CPR? (Remember difficulty I caused running full manifold vacuum to spark advance...) Show Darren closeup pic again -- not shaped like traditional nipple. Which O ring are you missing? See what I mean about PRV swallowing whatever you drop. Found two washers under intake manifold yesterday. Perhaps you should disregard O ring and use silicone instead... Ain't nothing like a vacuum leak, eh? If it's small enough engine will run, but sure is embarassing at the stoplight. Can't wait until my O rings show up. Speaking of "MY" -- what's with caps? We're both right side up now. Is all the OTHER DeLo's with hoses under manifold. BTW: I use fuel line hose in place of traditional vacuum hose. Holds up better. Tell Darren to wait until engine re-assembled for decision on CPR. Maybe dollar will re-find some of its lost value by then...
