No Sir - can't hear it while driving, but I can just hear it while idling.

So if I TIME the intervals, I can guage a vac. leak? Does the interval have a normal spec time? Such as for a new motor? Is it in FSM?

I don't have a loping idle, which is usually a tell-tale indication of intake leak...

And is the ground for the vac pump integrated into the mount? I'd really like to fab up some cushion into mounting bushings...
