They can be had almost anywhere, but I just checked ebay and see a bunch for $20 or more. Dudes here can tutor you on how to use one for monitoring engine load. Here is my favorite model for our dash look: SG-VAC258B: SAAS - 2 5/8 inch Vacuum Gauge (Black face):



Here is a video of a guy installing one on a 1992 Civic:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
