We used the Hughes kit as well..... still hate the design... I tried to slowly close off the vacuum leak using my finger, say over 10-12 seconds. as soon as i fully closed it off, the engine died. I hate to throw parts at it. I also hate to pull the intake again.....but it's no good the way it is. maybe some more backtracking this evening will shed some light on the issue.
