So you got the gauges hooked up?

Where'd you hook up the gauge?

Shouldn't it be installed on a vacuum line? You mean the intake manifold or a literal intake?

Oh. Okay. Was about to ask how you got any reading at all. I'm not exactly sure on this one bud. Never had any experience on the vacuum stuff.

But, with that being said, I would believe the spot you hooked it up is bad, and you need to hook it up using a tee on a vacuum line.

Ah. Okay. Makes more sense. I'll let someone who knows something about the vacuum gauge throw some info in here.
