Proform Main Body Caution
Just bought a new 750DP Proform body. Nice looking piece except for some casting "flash" on the pump shooter nozzles. Being ****....I decided to remove the shooters and file off the flashing. Good thing I did.
Gaskets under pump shooters looked like two old pieces of chewed up Leather!!! No way would they have sealed.
I'd check and replace these gaskets before you fire your beast up.

Pro Form
I have used a couple Pro Forms in the past. Currently have an 850 on my Chevelle. Never had any problems with them, although I have to pull off my pump shooters anyway because they are never big enough.
As for vacuum, I too have always used manifold vacuum for the distributor. You can get ported vacuum from the pro forms,,,it's a matter of which metering blocks you run with it. Just have to make sure the passages are there, if not they can easily be drilled. Larry.
