just looked at the edlebrock set up like yours that i have here. there is a possibilaty that the lower runner gaskets are on the wrong runners. they both interchange as far as the bolt holes but if you use the wrong side on the other tube there is 1/4 inch gap in the cutout fot the egr port. That would definatly cause enough air to enter the engine and there is no way to stop it. I think you have to take it apart to find out since we plugged every vac line and the injectors are seated properly.
have fun!

I have read this and wanted to say Kudos to FIC! wow what great customer service. Talk about above and beyond. I am buying my injectors no later than november and have no doubt where i am getting them!

I still have the problem, but thanks to Jon to walking me through some things over the phone Saturday. Best we can tell at this point, I have a major vacuum leak. Looks like I will likely have to break to whole freakin thing down again and reassemble.
I really don't look forward to this. Those big runners are a pain in the rear end to work around. At this point, I would actually not recommend larger runners to someone asking.

hope you find a fix for your problem-----
BTW I know who I'm going straight to if I ever need injectors-answering email from a borrowed laptop at a party on Friday night = priceless
This is the attitude and commitment America was built on-too bad it is not common practice today

Found the culprit tonight. BROKEN RUNNER! When we were torquing it down we heard a pop and it was the driver side runner (front bolt area). The SOB broke! When we tore it back down it literally fell off. To boot, we had done a smoke test looking for the vacuum leak and basically the whole bottom sections of both sides were leaking.
Now I'm down a runner and the choice is to stick with Edelbrock, go back stock, or move up to a miniram. Stock is the cheapest, but the extra HP is tempting.
Hopefully, better days ahead.
