Thanks guys. I appreciate the fast response. And, since there are no vacuum switches in the ac system, I can put the dash board back together.
Now back to the main problem. Nice to know I won't be sidetracked by looking inside the passenger cabin.
As stated previously, I've already replaced the PLENUM COUPLER and the intake manifold gaskets. BTW, the ones from Rockauto were useless...would not even fit into the grooves on the bottom side of the intake manifold. Got better ones at NAPA for a few more $. I've also replaced the rubber 90 elbow connectors and the straight connectors on both the clean and dirty air lines. But, something you just wrote makes me wonder... you called the line from the front valve cover to the throttle body a "clean air line, (not a vacuum hose)". Maybe (for the first time in my life) I made a mistake...I hooked my smoker to that "clean air line", not the one going to the rear valve cover. So maybe I missed possible leaking locations? However, I also tested by spraying with carb cleaner and did not hear any changes in idle speed...no matter where I sprayed.
I can redo the smoke test...which line do you recommend?
Thanks again!
