Oh, and does anyone know the correct "wet" float adjustment for the '78 400 engine? Mine is classed as "heavy duty" on the valve cover decal if this makes any difference.

Only other "leak" I could find was that the Vacuum Amplifier leaks vacuum when vacuum is applied to the port going to the EGR valve. The vacuum leaks from an unused port on the amplifier. Is this a vent? That's my guess.

I still have a slight hesitation that occurs a second after I accelerate during cruise. I think it is the EGR kicking in....but I guess this is normal.

If anyone can tell me if the amplifier leak is normal I would appreciate it. Thanks for all of your help.

Sorry, can't help on vacuum leaks, I'm just an insane parts dummy.

Thanks Numberdummy! Ordered the pull-off through Advance. Will be here in AM. Would like to find a Motorcraft Duct Motor. Looks more original.

See that link in post #2 I made

If you looked the bottom of the directory list on the right side you would have seen the specification and adjustments page shown here.
