QUOTE(GMoney @ Jan 31, 2006 - 3:04 PM) [snapback]387038[/snapback] my vac is reading like 25 to 30 psi. and when i rev it only goes down to 20 psi which i find not normal !! thats a lot of vac. you sure your gauge is working correctly? these cars should be getting 18-22vac at idle. i looked at the pic you have of your engine bay and those hardware store clamps you are using. i can almost bet you money that is the cause of your problem. buy some tbold clamps so that your piping wont blow off. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
