I think I found out what was wrong with my truck engine. We took it apart and found out the cam is an Elgin E1213-P. The intake spec is 244° at .050", far too big for the 570 carb. This explains most of the issues I think, the vacuum, compressor reading, etc. Everything inside the engine was in great shape, and the engine is bored 30 over.
