i had a 727 behind a slant six in a van that would act like that /turned out 
to be a cracked valve body/ / seemed transmission was in 1st and reverse at 
same time / gerry

vacuum gauge reads 16 at idle.  i originally had a vacuum leak at the base
of the carb, i fixed that hoping that was the problem, no luck.  i also dont
understand why i lose so many rpm when i put the car in gear.
