IMHO, i think we are all missing the real problem here. he stated he used GOLD springs. these are NOT the " strongest " or " heaviest spring " . the black ones are. every kit ive ever seen anywhere, goes 1. black 2. silver 3. gold. heavy to light. so he's using the lightest spring. moroso has a kit with more colors, and spring rates, but the black is still the " strongest" and " heaviest". just my .02

Actually, I'm not sure what cam I am using, but as far as I can see,
it seems to be the stock cam for a L-82 350CI : I've got stock rockers,
hydraulic lifters ( I saw them when I dismounted the intake manifold )
and pushrods, so it should also be stock camshaft ?

No, glen242 !
I get low manifold vacuum at idle because I have a single plane manifold ( Holley street dominator ), which gives torque and power over 3500 RPM ( as Lars told me ).
With single plane manifolds, it is normal to get less vacuum than with dual plane manifolds.
I already posted about this point, and some other people used to get the same results with approximately the same configuration.
I changed all the manifold gaskets last year, and trust me, I don't have any vacuum leak between manifold and headers/engine.
My PCV valve is new and works correctly. All engine hoses are new. ( included vacuum hoses )
The headlight panels can still be open 2 days after the last use of the car, so there is no leak at the vacuum tank too.
For information, I get between 160 PSI and 165 PSI compression on all cylinders ( 11.0 to 11.5 Kg/cm2 ).
I don't think I have a worn engine, as it burns absolutely no oil at all, and I never get blue smoke at exhaust...
The color of all 8 spark plugs is perfect ( so no worn rings signs ).
If you insist, I will post a picture of my engine, but don't forget to wear your sunglasses

Yes
Remove the bowl, unscrews the jets, install new ones, install the bowl.
You may need a new float bowl gasket if the old one tears upon disassembly. Good to have a few spares on hand if you're going to be doing tuning.

BTW, Holley.com only lists the Street Dominator as a dual plane not a single plane.
