LOl It is. On these computer controlled cars, only way to find vacuum leaks, and they cause all kinds of issues.Looks a little more technical than a smoldering stick

Is that the thing that fills the system with smoke, so you can see it coming out?

I actually did that looking for vacuum leaks on the Bag House/GIANT vacuum cleaner on the asphalt plant. The guy that was assisting me looked at me like I was nutz when I started waving that stick around the seams waiting for the smoke to vanish
Yep
Yes. You would be surprised where vacuum leaks.
Is color correct? They look red......the original shocks on my 66 are blue...
I thought the same but application chart shows they are indeed a match.
Maybe a match for function and fit but not for a quality Restoration part that your car needs....they could be painted any color you need....
Is it possible front and rear are different colors?

My quick research looks like Red might have been original on your vehicle...

Throw in a roll bar and some cal tracks problem solved! Sorry Zman just a bit of racer humor! Sounds like you and your buddy are in the short rows on finishing her up. You guys have really got down and dirty on the details. I think all your effort is going to pay off.
And just looked the Gabriel fronts are black.

Why not paint them...
I have always painted mine to match, if they were the wrong color....No Problem....And just looked the Gabriel fronts are black.

Funny thing BD I have rode a ridgid shovel for most of my adult life, my "new to me" Harley has shocks. I get it now! Heck I even have a speedo that works! Love me some shocks!

Those used to be Unobtanium, dang. I remember sitting auto school watching a video about these and at the time it was not something that was readily available

One time I found a vacuum leak right where the intake manifold meets the head on a 360. The gasket was tore and blew out a little. 2 local shops couldn't figure it out so the truck sat for a year before I decided to wrestle with it and found it!!!

Sure, everyone clears out when I show up.

How is your sorting/ inventory project going? Are either of your 67s rollers? I have been looking for a 67 ever since I saw Zmans. Holy crap it is beautiful.
Goodafternoon!
Had a 80’s dodge, new dist, rebuilt carb, rebuilt heads, still wouldnt run right. Boss was screwing around with it for hours,dead of winter, shitty exhaust and doors closed.
I thought i was going to die from the exhaust fumes. I waited until he left shop, pulled egr and blocked it. It purred like a kitten.
He wouldnt let me do it before,claiming that couldnt be the problem.
That carbon monoxide poisoning still haunts me to this day,16 years later.
