Thank you for directing me to the vacuum line, the small rubber hose used as coupling down on the trans was disconnected. It was old and lose fitting so I replaced it.

As far, as the heat shield. What kind of performance sign from the lost of compression? The car runs nice, I am going to order the shield so when the newly re-built injectors come in I can replace them.
