I don't know from just going by idle vacuum. Someone on this board might. I do have a couple questions, though. Is the engine not running properly? Is it having any symptoms, i.e. leaning out during light acceleration, becoming too rich at WOT, etc.?

The carb worked great, but I just put in a huge cam and headers and I lost about 10" of vacuum. So now I have to change out the metering rod springs to compensate for the vacuum loss. It has the 10" springs in it now, which worked great before the new cam when I had about 20" of vacuum. I was figuring on using the 5" springs but I wanted other peoples opinions first.
