Make sure you check the blank off nipple plugs. One on each throttle bodie two on number 3 they get weathered and crack also. While your att it make sure your throttle bodies are seated in the rubber manifolds and the hose calmps are tight.

Read something by Lord PowerTripp that suggest the length/flexibility can affect what is measured as MAP.

But nothing buggers up vacuum measurement like cracked rubber plugs/tubes. Make sure they're a good fit on the T piece under the tank too - One of mine has been assisted to stay in place. Tiny cable tie.

Weathered & cracked number 2 & 3 nipples.... ....('c'mon, someone had to crack that joke... )
