Fixin Vacuum Leaks and Upsidedown PCV valves with John Lee

[Sharps40]

As ya know, blew one engine, breakin in another.

In both I'd tuned em and installed Weber 32/36 and new PCV, etc.

Imagin when my new motor developed a loose nut on the carb adapter and leak at the central manifold runner due to cheep gasket. Combine those leaks with an upsidedown PCV valve and there weren't enough jet left in the weber to splash gasoline on all that extra air.

Wondering idle, stalling, no power, missing, deceleration popping....

So, walked thru all the joints on the vacuum system, one at a time with WD40 cause it makes the engine speed up instead of slowing down. Easier to tell when yer workin with a rough as a cob idle.

Traced the new power brake booster, dizzy can, intake runners, carb base, carb adapter to manifold and pcv valve.

I found three leaks. Big one at the central runner to head joint, a big one where one of two carb adapter to manifold bolts was finger loose and an upside down PCV essentially equaling a third large vacuum leak.

Dayum.
