Worked on it yesterday.
Moe info: Vacuum was 20, plugged all the ports did not get an vacuum at dip stick.
I did not get to replace carb gasket yet as no one had one, will pick one up today. Researched further still think I might have a small vacuum leak internally. When you first start motor in morning it sound slike it has a mild cam, then as it warms up it smooths out. Thoughts? If I end up pulling the manifold how can I assure that I it get it to seal. I have been using felpro gaskets, fyi.
