Lost Vaccum
I think I asked this question before but I can't remember the answer. After I installed my new engine at start up I lose vaccum for a minute or two and the driver's headlight will pop-up. Sometimes both come up and when I give it a little gas they will close????
I was told it maybe the cam in the new motor, (355 w/400hp) and someone said it maybe my timing. If its the cam what can I do to fix it?
Oh now I remember asking this question. The fix was a new vaccum check valve. Purchased one from ecklers & didn't not fix my problem.
Anyone need a check-valve??
Thanks
Jim

I installed the new c-valve and the problem is still there. I was thinking of replacing all the hoses but I didn't have this problem w/the stock engine??
