What's the best way to check for a vaccuum leak on my Ford 302?

I have a 1977 Ford Mustang with a 302 in it with an automatic transmission, and I think I have a vaccuum leak. Does anyone know the best way to check this?What's the best way to check for a vaccuum leak on my Ford 302?The best way is with a smoke machine. If you don't have access to one, either do a very close visual inspection of ALL vacuum lines, use propane around the intake manifold, or vacuum gauge on all lines. Good luck.What's the best way to check for a vaccuum leak on my Ford 302?

You can use brake cleaner or a can of quick start. Get 2-3 cans and spray all lines with vehicle running. Listen to the idle, when it drops at a certain area you're spaying at, you found to leak. The other way is by sound sometimes, vac leaks are usually noisy.
Soap Bubbles, Vacuum, Bubbles? Its sucks not blows so that wont work. Start engine, spray some WD-40 around suspected area(s), if engine idle changes then you have found your leak...
