I'm sure a handy sort could fabricate some kind of replacement, but it's true, they aren't designed for removal and replacement as a separate component.
Jeffafa, remember when the Green Hornet was doing the same thing? I replaced everything, even tried an electric fuel pump. Ended up buying a new gas tank, problem solved.

The Green Hornet and Kato. Did you know that Kato was played by Bruce Lee?
thanks! I may hold off on a new tank until I confirm this 360 is in decent shape. Still gotta get to the compression check. Hopefully tonight. What the rule for compression? None should be lower than 15% of the best one?

Correct. That is what I was taught in High School vocational Auto Mechanics circa 1973 1/2 TO 1975.
Also Im noticing a ton of vacuum from the breather on the valve cover. Its not hooked up to the air cleaner. I have to plug it for the truck to run. Im gonna do a compression check later. Seems like it is missing on one cylinder.
Is it intake manifold vacuum air going in the valve cover or "blow by" air coming out?

Did you do a "wet" compression test also? Squirt about 4 heavy squirts of oil in the cylinders individually with an oil can then test each cylinder again. This oil will temporarily seal the rings if they are worn or broken.

it's vacuum. I plugged it and the truck idles good. Unplugged and it barley runs.
I did put a couple tsp of oil in the cylinder and it can up to 90. 83 was dry.

Hmmm. Intake vacuum in the crankcase. Sounds like a cracked intake. Which intake manifold is this? Original 2V intake? Swapped on Ford 4V? Swapped on aftermarket 4V? Do the gasket surfaces of it look like it was installed recently?
