What do I need to pressurize my blower

[Guest Hal]

I'm going to be working on my car now and I'm wondering what I need to be able to pressurize my blower to look for the leak. Also, if I blew a gasket on the lower intake would I be able to find it if I pressurized the system?

by a rubber cap for plumbing that fits over your t/b drill a small hole in it and rubber cement a tire valve in the hole.... clamp the cap over the tb and put low pressure on the system and then listen for leaks.... if theres a bad gasket you'll hear it.....

Thanks, can i accomplish that just by using my air compressor?

Why dont you just spray carb cleaner around the suspected areas while the engine is idling , if the idle fluctuates after spraying the area(s) then you can pinpoint a leak area and stethescope it before any disassembly takes place. Its still gonna be sourcing vacuum @ idlebefore and after the rotors...

Car doesn't idle lol. I mainly want to pressurize it because it's just going to be sitting in a garage doing it, nobody to hold the car at an idle or anything. I already suspect an intake gasket, but I want to grab my stethescope with it pressurized to be sure.

Cool, 6-8 it is...not the 15 I planned lol. Now I'm going to find a way to get some smoke through there like gearhead suggested.
