Default Vaccum Readings
I connected a good new vaccum guage to the 3/8" port in the carb baseplate. At idle, it is pulling around 10 lbs. As I accelerate, the vaccum climbs to 20+. If I jump on the throttle, it briefly drops, then starts climbing up again. I thought I should be losing vacuum as I accelerate.
Brand new Pro Systems 850 dp; cam is 236 dur .050 with .572 lift.
Am I missing something here? Or did I just sleep through that class??...
