Thanks for the help, Brian. I will try readjusting the vcv and report back to you. When I measured vac at the vcv output before I started tweaking things, I got about 10.5 inHg at the vcv, so I guess the vac amplifier is still pushing the vac up. I think I turned it in the right direction b/c I think I was teed in after the vac amplifier at its output to the tranny and watched the vac go down as i turned the plastic screw. Maybe I need to double check and depending on my findings replace the vac amplifier? I will report back. Thanks again!
