Daniel,
Vacuum leak - get a can of starter fluid, and lightly squirt it at suspected
areas. The fan will blow most of it away except where you are really
shooting at. At idle, the leak is at it's greatest, so the car would be
running rough. When you hit that leak with the starter fluid, the engine
should smooth out and increase in RPM.

Hello Everyone,
Can somebody tell me, what are the best ways to go about finding
vacuum leaks and then fixing them.. I have new insulator blocks coming with
gaskets but I want to make sure that NOTHING is leaking.
How in the world do you get the insulator blocks off of the car???
Those nuts (for the solex carbs) are almost impossible to get at! Any
tricks.?
Might actually have time to work on my car this weekend...if I can
get
Irene to give me a break from the painting...had no idea having my
girlfriend
move in would entail a complete repaint-redecorate of my house.....
