Vacuum Question For The Experts
Running a '88 5.7 TPI. Did a vacuum check on it (hooked into the pvc hose) and it held steady at -19 but when i slowly opened the throttle to about 1500 rpm's the vacuum increased to -22 and held steady until I closed the throttle. Is this normal? I checked several repair manuals, and non of them made any referance to an increase in vacuum with increase of rpm's.

From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
Normal.
The "pump" is moving more air at higher RPMs. With no load, the intake manifold vacuum will also go up.
