Default Vacuum Can ?
I need to replace the vacuum can on my '71 350/270hp w/th400. The engine has been rebuilt with flat tops(about 9.6 CR), camel hump 2.02/1.6 heads, stk exh manifolds with 2.5 ex system, and original q-jet. Will the NAPA VC1810 work best or should I use something else ?

Thanks,

If you have a big cam and poor manifiold vacuum, use the VC1810. If your cam is reasonable, use the VC1765.

forgot to mention cam,, it's the stock "929" cam. So the VC1765 will be the best one?
