ok, just want to know at what value your gauge reads at idle(750 rpms)



in other words, what is your vacuum? ...by measure of mmHg

it also means the gauge reads no more than about 15 psi of vacuum if i recall correctly

15-20mmhg is ideal, but 20mmhg is best on any gauge.

Do you mean 15-20mmHg, or 150-200mmHg? 'Cause I get 200mmHg at idle.
