1977 Jeep CJ5 vacume leaks

Check to see if the plastic plate is flat and not concaved or convexed.

You might put another gasket on what ever side it's leaking and hopefully both gaskets were new

INSURE THE PLASTIC PLATE IS NOT CRACKED. SORTA GENTLY BEND IT. IT MAY ONLY OPEN UP UNDER PRESSURE

INSURE YOUR CARB IS NOT THE LEAK----ARE ALL OF THE SCREWS ON IT NICE AND SNUG?

DO YOU HAVE ALL OF THE UNUSED VACUUM PORTS CAPPED OFF?

DO NOT "CRANK DOWN" ON THE BOLTS---CROSS TIGHTEN THEM A LITTLE AT A TIME---NOT ONE SIDE THEN THE OTHER

I ALSO USE "INDIAN HEAD" GASKET SHELLAC (OR OTHER BRANDS) ON THE INTAKE. BOTH SIDES OF THE PLASTIC SPACER.I DO NOT USE IT ON THE CARB SIDE OF THE GASKET. WIPE THE DABBER OFF WELL, YOU ONLY NEED A THIN COATUNLIKE THE WAY I'M GOBBING IT ON MY TRANNY SNOUT IN THE PIC----OR MY TIMING CHAIN COVER

I HAVE A '77 AND A '46
