hey guys i recently installed two gauges ( vacuum being one ) using the sticky on this website that paul wrote up and I have a question about the vacuum gauge install.. I am getting a reading of below 10 more around 8 or so on my gauge.. I know I can use many vacuum lines I just used the one in the sticky and the one that the previous owner had already messed with and I am not sure if that's whats giving me a low reading.. I included pics to show what the previous owner had and second pic is how I rigged it up .. first pic previous owner had the vacuum line connecting to a 3 inch piece of tubing to a barrel connecting to the right side ,,
. however on the right side of the T fitting the black nipple is loose on that right end doesn't fit so snug. and the left side I took out what previous had hooked up and installed the vacuum line to the black nipple to the fitting and it fits perfect.. on the right side though the black nipple was on there from when I bought the car and I am not sure if I can cut that black nipple on the right off and use the same nipple I used on the left now on the right for a snug fit ? sorry if that sounds confusing i did include pics to show you guys what previous owner had n if i can delete it or not ? thanks again for all help
