Thanks, Mike -

And "Aha!" - this raises a new question.  This car is converted to dual
HS-4s.  I have the brake servo vacuum hose connected on the middle of the
intake manifold where the gulp valve used to be.  Is this a bad
arrangement?  I'm in uncharted waters now - and not sure how to check the
nonreturn valve.  My sense of logic tells me that it should not allow me to
blow air into the manifold-end of the vacuum hose.  Is this the way to
check it?

Again, TIA

Allen
