Title: Vacuum Testing Tool
Post by: blueoval on January 18, 2010, 02:41:58 PM

Any ideas on what to use to plug the intake boot to do a vacuum test.  Larry, I am sure you could make me one, but kind of want it tonight.  Maybe you are burning the midnight oil............and just need another job to do.    Inside diameter is approximately 1.63 inches.     thx ted

 If you just need to plug it, put a Baggie over the carb spigot and push it in.  :mrgreen:

Ok, I made the one for the k5 fit into the boot.  Took some persuading, but it worked.   thx
