Okay, I was wondering how fast the 135 from the tank would pressurize the car, didn't want to blow gaskets out that previously WEREN'T leaking.
I'll either watch the boost gauge in the car or get another gauge and screw it into the pipe plug so I can watch it while adding air.
Alright guys. I can make the tester for $10 and can get an air tank for $20 at Sears. This better work, or I'll be back to complain.
Do I need to hold the throttle blade open in order to pressurize the manifold and check for leaks, or will enough air still get past it closed?
Should I pressurize from MAF to throttle body in one test, and then move the tester up to the T-body itself and do a separate test for the manifold? Or will there be enough air that everything will pressurize in one test?
