Way back in high school my crusty old auto shop teacher told us: If the vacuum drops as the engine speed rises there are three reasons...plugged exhaust, plugged exhaust and plugged exhaust. Over the years I learned that he was right...at least about this one particular thing.

Isn't the vacuum supposed to drop as engine rpm increase? I mean you are opening the throttle valve releasing that negative pressure.. the Trans modulator also requires an Hg drop to properly shift the car. It's the trans's way of sensing engine load. Correct me if I'm wrong.....please
I'm having some issues with misses and such, and Vac is one of the suspects.
I'll be glued to this thread
