Is that correct that my 1968 would not be designed for a siphon? I have been told by 2 indy shops that the siphon is the official, approved method for my older car. Is that documented somewhere in the FSM? I would love to have a reference for that fact. Thanks!

As an aside, I have tried two of those MityVac's (from Amazon.com) and both had irreparable problems out of the box. The reviews on Amazon are generally positive, so I think I just had bad luck. But I wanted to mention that they are not perfect.
