  • Normal vacuum numbers for the 3.8?

    Anyone know what the idle vacuum for the 3.8 is? I'm seeing about 8 inches of Hg and I'm thinking that is really low.

    should be 19 mm hg steady. should drop when you give it gas and when you snap the throttle closed it should bounce up past 19, then come back and settle at 19 again. make sure you got it on there securely otherwise you got a monsterous vac leak.
