How Much Vacuum??

Silly me, I guess I shoulda asked,back in the first post.
Ok so if your TC is that loose, it makes sense.
In that case, back to post #8.
And while the PCV is out; plug the holes in the valvecovers and put a vacuum gauge on the dipstick tube.Any vacuum there now, has to be coming from the intake manifold. So hopefully you won't have any there. Rev it up to 2200 and wait about 5 to 10 seconds.
