Ok so most of you know I am having problems with vacuum leaks on my intake. Yesterday I bought a vacuum tester and attached it to the intake manifold at the back of the intake. I then started the car and ajusted the carb to get as much vacuum as possible but the idle still hiccuped every once in a while. Not my concern now since I am going to probably take off everything and reseal it again. New issue. I noticed that the spark plug wires on the right hand side of the engine were sparking when they came in contact with the power steering pump stem. Little sparks, but I noticed that the engine started acting up when the sparking started. Now remember, these are new wires and I bought a $45 crimper tool to make sure I installed them correctly. What the heck is going on? Whats with the sparking and what do I do about it?
