If you can suck anything through, imagine 32 psi on one side and engine
vacuum on the other.

vaccum side of fuel regulator?

Thanks.

So absolutely no gas should be coming out on the vacuum side? (small
hose connection)

I can feel resistance when sucking on it, but gas drained out of the
small opening when I removed it from block.

The information helps. I would love to see if engine will run ok and
has decent compression and check for coolant leaks (PO said absolutely
there wern't any)

Then I could sell it (for real cheap) to someone in need who's truly
short of cash. I wouldn't want much for this engine.

Neil.
