Default DIY diagnostic smoker

I have just found a method to make your own diagnostic smoker for checking the vacuum as it could save us a lot of headaches and pennies I would like to share it with everybody as a late Christmas present.

There's a detailed write-up in another of the forums on this site, maybe the same one...

Bear in mind they won't find every problem but usually work.

This actually worked...believe it or not...to find intake manifold gasket vacuum leak: cigar, soda bottle, tubing. I suppose thanks are due to that YouTube nitwit Scotty Kilmer....
