Dave, my comment about the intake manifold is that there are the two copper tubes coming from the bottom (that drip fuel below the exhaust). If it is a vacuum in there why doesn't air go up those tubes?

Air does go up the tubes. Because the tubes have such a small inside diameter & are so long they represent a very small leak. Not enough to affect engine running noticeably.
