If you can suck anything through, imagine 32 psi on one side and engine vacuum on the other.

Thanks.

So absolutely no gas should be coming out on the vacuum side? (small hose connection)

I can feel resistance when sucking on it, but gas drained out of the small opening when I removed it from block.

The information helps. I would love to see if engine will run ok and has decent compression and check for coolant leaks (PO said absolutely there wern't any)

Then I could sell it (for real cheap) to someone in need who's truly short of cash. I wouldn't want much for this engine.

Neil.
