to get a vac reading you need a vac guage. bout' 80 bucks. you can get cheaper but i wouldnt. the guage gets stuck on the full vacuum port of your carby. you can use manifold vac, but full vac is more stable. chock the wheels, chock the brakes, put it in drive and watch what the needle does. its more than just the number you are looking for, its the behaviour of the needle. vac reading will tell you all sorts of things about whats happening inside the engine.

Lol my last 202 had next to no idle vacumn thanks to the insane camkeeping inlet & exhaust valves open at idle once the rpm picked up it was awesome
