1974 F-100 360 stroked to 390.
When I get into it a little I hear a sucking sound. It sounds like it's coming from the carb.I let off the gas and it quits.I've checked all over the carb. and can't find any Vac. leaks/openings where this air is coming from. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.-Ken

 

probably down the big suck holes that vacuum air/fuel into the engine.

 

That sucking sound is your gas budget being sucked out of your wallet. $3.65 a gallon.. ugh this crap is getting old

 

Like northerndave said, that sucking sound is the huge "vacuum leak" just under your air filter housing.

 

Agreed; if it were a vacuum leak, you'd hear it at idle, at which point vacuum is strongest.

 

That must suck.Gas here is 2.85 as of yesterday.
I know I'll be driving it more now with these prices.

 

I just put gas in my bike this morning, I don't recall exactly but it was $3.50-ish

But it was only 4.5 gallons to fill it.

 

Quit your whining!!!
It's 5.50 a US gallon up here. My 460 gets 8 US gallons to the mile.
Gonna have to break out the dogsled again!!!

 

Gas dropped 2 more cents last night.It's 2.83
I hope it keeps going down,but I know it will end soon.

...or maybe you guys should finally have a Revolution

If we'd stayed your gas would be 10 bucks a gallon now.

yes we are slightly off topic now, but RWENUTS that was a low blow, but remember this, no one makes me bleed my own blood.
