vacume leaks galore
Anybody ever had this problem or can you offer some assistance.My tpi 350 IS ALL NEW,BESIDES THE TPI set up that came off my 305.I am haveing vacume leaks at the intake,runners and cold start injector.One of my cylinders seems to not be firing.Could that because of the vacume leaks.We have put new gaskets on it three times and the last time we put silicone on both sides of the gaskets and the surfaces to try to get it to seal and then let it sit 24 hours and it's still leaking.Anybody know why or whats up?I just want to drive my damn car!I'm about ready to say f*** it and carb it.What all would i need to get besides a intake and carb,and which ones would be the best with my set up?Help!!!

bad plug or wire? Maybe even the terminal in your dizzy might be damaged. Start with the basics first
