I thought that I would give an update for anyone who may be interested. A couple of days ago I soaked the gas filter in Berryman. Today I took it out of the Berryman and blew nitrogen threw it to dry it out. Reinstalled the part, hooked up the vacuum lines and low and behold....19 inches. Saved...

You're awesome man! Thanks again.

Cool thanks! You wouldn't happen to know the part number for the four bolts on the upper t-stat housing also?
