remohbill New Guy R Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 35 Missouri, USA	I have a 265 v8 that has been sitting for 30 years. I am trying to get is started. So far it has not fired even one time. My question is how much vacuum should it generate while cranking with the starter? I think I have covered all the basics but any other suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks.
