'81 FC air leak

[putneyflash@...>]

I am thinking it might be the cruise control. Does the cruise work? My vacuum
unit set right behind the foot step of the bumper. I recently bought a new
vacuum unit from john blakey Motors but have not installed it as of yet. you can
take it off start the bird and see if it doesn't start leaking air at about 75
pounds. if you plug it it will go to regular pressure
