Re: quick vacuum question

Think about it;

Wide open throttle, all that outside air allowed to flow into the manifold with almost no restriction....

Re: quick vacuum question

You are talking about manifold vacuum, which drops as rpm increases, whereas ported vacuum or the vacuum at the carb venturi increases.

Have a great day,

Rob.
