Thats around 14.77 in Hg vacuum. Close to normal I suppose. Is the engine ported? What is it idling at?

Cool!!. Yes the engine is ported. and it idles at about 950, once it gets up to tempature.

Can you tell me how you converted that?


P.S. I just started running MMO, and know I am showing about -.6. That **** rocks!!!!!

I use the reckitt site, which has every concievable conversion on it. plus you can download the program for free.

However, I could not figure out what I was supposed to be converting. All I knew was Bar to inches, and that was getting me nowhere.

Thanks again for the help
