They can, actually. That's what the whole dialysis method is based on.

Sodium ions are too small to be effectively restricted by the pores present in dialysis tubing. The pores in the tubing are designed to allow passage of molecules based on size, charge, and shape. Due to their small size, sodium ions are not hindered by the pores and can freely move across the membrane.

Why do the RPMs fluctuate on their own without hitting the accelerator?

I am having a similar problem with my 95' w/351. Mine fluctuates by about 300 rpm's and is fairly consistant every 3-5 seconds. I've been told that it is a vacuum leak, however, I've replaced just about all of my vacuum lines. You cant buy the factory hard plastic tubing, so I fabricated my own out of aluminum tubing and a cheap tubing bender. The aluminum tubing is readily available from hobby stores and is fairly inexpensive. Hope this helps you out. I cant find anymore vacuum leaks on mine, but it still fluctuates. Jon
