For some reason, nothing vaccum wise is working. I'm running the rfl bov with just the spring and no washers and it won't blow off...just getting compressor surge. My boost gauge also doesn't work. I am using the two nipples after the tb off of the intake manifold. One nipple goes straight to the bov. The other nipple goes to my boost gauge but T's off to my ignition box. A very simple setup but for some reason it's a no-go. Could it be blocked off?

 

what is your vacuum at idle?

 

boost gauge doesn't read anything period. It just sits at "0"...that and the bov is how I know something is wrong vaccum wise

 

are you sure your vacuum lines are connected to the IM?

 

What do you mean? Right after the tb there are two nipples...I just connected it there. There is also one nipple on the back of the IM but I'm T-ing off that for the 02 clamp pressure switch.

 

Disconnect the lines and blow through them with your mouth, i bet they are blocked somewhere.

 

I blew through the lines and one was only partially hard to blow through, otherwise the one going to the boost gauge was fine...

 

Today I stuck some wire down the nipples and it cleared some stuff out...I'm waiting on a new oil fitting before I can check things again.

 

 

Okay figured it out. The sources were just clogged...also the boost gauge line was kinked a little. It's all good now!
