you can spray carb cleaner to detect vacuum leaks. at any place you want to check spray along the seam and if idle goes up there is a leak. you can also use a propane tourch (not lit of course
). start a small flow of propane and run along the seams and the same thing will happen. if there is a leak idle would go up. with the latter tho, you better hope there is no sparks around.
just another note which you may have checked if your hoses are ols replace them. on my 75 they all seemed good but when i replaced them my vacuum increased considerably.

with the propanr method you would probably want to use one of those mini torghes that have a pencil point flame as that way there wouldn't be an overabundance of propane flowing. a more precise delivery of the gas but still would be very careful.

I own a 1982 Collectors Edition that I'm having the engine completely rebuilt. Bad cam shaft, etc., etc.
Side connector on the EGR Solenoid was broken and am having difficulty finding a replacement. I can find one for a Chevy 350 but they say that they don't work on a 1982 Collectors Edition. Found one that looks like all the connectors fit but the bracket isn't correct. I've checked everywhere. Any ideas?

Did you check under Camero Z28. The crossfire are the same.
Any EGR Solenoid I find for a GM 350 tells me that it will not work for an 1982 Corvette.
