I HAVE A BUILT 400 WITH STREET CAM
I AM GETTING NEEDLE BOUNCE ON MY VACUUME GAUGE AND AM CONNECTED TO THE INTAKE VACUUME PORT.
ANY IDEAS?
THE PLUGS ARE BURNING CLEAN.
POSSIBLE ROCKER ARMS NOT ADJUSTED CORRECTLY?
I HAVE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS
THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS!

just for kicks try another full time vac source, maybe the tree on the back of the carb or the vac modulator port if a qjet. If you are connected to one runner of a dual plane, manifold you will get a true fluctuation due to natural pulsing.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
