Re: Truck won't start right up and backfires like crazy!

I have not seen mention of what kind of cam you are running. Performance cams with lopey idle can benefit from the manifold vacuum to keep the vac signal up high enough where the advance kick in and helps it idle. With stock or stock-ish cams the extra vac at idle is not needed so ported vac is OK.
