plug vaccuum ??
I have determined that I have several leaks in my vacuum system. It will take a while to get after all of them no doubt.
In the mean time I have plugged the vacuum fitting on the intake so it can't leak past that point. Since I do not have power brakes and the wipers don't work anyway I'm just leaving the lights in their up position and running like this for now.
It was not a huge difference (plugged vs hooked up normally) in the idle quality but I am sure their are leaks downstream (wipers, headlights & maybe dash).
Question: Is there any problem with running like this as? Any motor issues, etc.?? Is anyone else running like this?
Any opinions appreciated.
Regards, Mark
