my 04 had a 1/16 inch vacuum line with a pinhole in it. that was enough to give me a miss at idle and throw a check engine light.
it took me close to 3 months to find it.

First on the losing water, your radiator cap could be bad and not holding pressure on the system and allow a little water to boil away all the time.

Second a 87 460 should have an electrical fuel pump. I have a good friend who has an 86 with a 460 with electric fuel pump in tank and it's carbed and I believe 87 is when the 460 went EFI, now I was in California at that time so they may have got it a year earlier as they sometimes do.

All I can think of. Ill run a block test next week and well see. Mine is def carbed. Ill switch to holley later with a 750. But Ill keep the eddy 600 for as long as possible

I'm pretty sure its electric. So when I get more funds Ill go over all the lines and replace the hose clamps and rubber hoses.
