Intake manifold air sound
My car has a 360 SB, I cleaned the engine yesterday and just after finish and start the car, I heard a sound like air leak coming from somewhere around the intake manifold.
I already checked and the sound isn't coming from the carburetor air horn, also, the vacuum gauge shows a decrease in the vacuum signal at idle I made a video where can hear the sound Link: http://vid1067.photobucket.com/album...pshafgtjbv.mp4 |

Well you have a vacuum leak, no surprise there. Take a squirt bottle full of water and spray around where you hear the noise. When the noise changes, you found your leak. Do all the gaskets, connections, etc. Archer |
Or break cleaner ,carb cleaner.
|
While you were cleaning, did you disconnect or break a vacuum hose?
|
just watched the video, is your fuel line ok? Looked like it had kink in it.

Get a scrap of hose, fuel hose, garden hose, "hose hose". Put up to your ear, and work the end around the manifold and carb while running. You will find it. There's a leak, there, somewhere

Thanks guys!
I did a quick rebuild and inspection, replaced intake, exhaust, heads gaskets and the sound disappeared |
It's nice when things work out!
