Hello Mach1Rider,
Sorry but I am in a bind.
I checked everything and re-checked. My friend teaches auto came by and looked at the motor.
He covered the carb throat and the motor will stall.
He then took the hose off the intake and goes to the PVC. Covered the carb and the motor continued to run. To him there is no leak, but why no vac read. The guage is good I think, it is pretty new.
If I race up to about 2000rpms the reading will go up to about 12 I think it was.
Last night I was pretty confident that the leak was under the intake internally. Now I am unsure again.
He did hear a slight miss and thinks perhaps a cracked plug.
What the hell do I do? I plan to change all the plugs even though they are new. I was thinking it couldn't hurt to change the gaskets but he doesn't think so.
One last indication of the motor is it is running rich.
The carb is adjusted correctly. I know carbs pretty well.
Any ideas....I am floundering here... Thanks..JIM

Hello CavScout
Jim here from Medford. Looks like you are not far from me.
I can't see your profile info so i don't know much about your car.
I have a 70 Mach with 351c. I live and work in Medford and have been running Fords most of my life. I'm 58 married with one son.
Let me know what you have I am curious and would like to hear about your car.
Perhaps we can swap ideas and info about parts etc.
If you get a chance let me know.
I almost forgot on my motor I am having trouble with carb issues and perhaps
a vacuum situation. Do you by any chance have the old style dual vac distributor?
Anyway...take care...do we have Boston accents? can't tell on the computer but people say i do when I order parts etc. LOL. Take care Jim
