Hissing sound coming from engine
Hi there! I have a 64.5 mustang with the original 260 motor. It actually runs really well and never gives me issues. Recently I noticed a hissing sound especially when I take it on the expressway and open it up to 50 mph. Vacuum leak? If so how do I diagnose and fix?

Snake on a stang?

Do you hear it sitting at idle with the hood up? Not very many vacuum lines on these old cars to check. Remove the air cleaner and make sure the vacuum lines on carburetor and the vacuum tree directly behind have not came off. It would also run a little rough at idle if a manifold vacuum source were leaking.
