    ahhh it reads vacuum

    my understanding is if you know how to read a vac gauge you can decipher things like stuffed valves, stuffed gaskets etc, plus it's a bit of bling if you have no idea what you're lookin at or you drive a hyundai

    Alot of old school mechanics can tune a car just by using a vacuum gauge
