Manifold Vacuum Experiment

RRR, have you put a vacuum gauge on the different ports to see what the Hg reading is from idle up to cruising RPM?
Yup. It has about 14hg at cruise. It's not a vacuum miser, because of the camshaft. It's an old NOS Crane Fireball. .505/.515 228 and 232 @ .050 on a 108, so it's got some cam. Amazingly though, it operates power brakes surprisingly well.
