Hmmm, I wonder if you've ever driven a car equipped with a vacuum
guage. You get a lot better idea of how manifold vacuum varies as a
function of the engine load that way. Just opening the throttle on an
unloaded engine doesn't tell you much.
Oh, I suppose you could do all those things you said, but I strongly
suspect that you'd be BS'ing if you claimed that you did them
routinely. I can just see you laying on your back under my '69 B
(that's where the timing marks are, you know) with your adjustable light
and your vacuum source controls & gauges (getting crowded under there?),
not to mention a remote throttle cable to vary the engine RPM. Quick
men, bring the video camera! Paul's entertaining the troops! ;^)
Cheers,
