Installed! Idles at 16 in. hg.! Steady!
Although, I'm not quite finished yet. The readings were with the gauge hooked up resting in my hand. Once I had the gauge completely installed in the pod I was only getting 14 in. hg. It didn't make any sense so I pulled the gauge from the pod and found I had crimped the hose between the pod and the a-pillar trim. I need to enlarge the hole in the pillar trim and pull the hose snugly as I install the gauge.
Posted below are a few pics from the install. Thanks to all those who helped in this thread!
Brake booster line with the HELP tee installed.
Pulled an existing firewall plug and pushed a hole through to the interior. The line comes in just to the left and above the clutch cylinder.
Firewall plug drilled out to fit the vacuum hose and retain the OEM plug!
Gauge and pod installed! I sourced an additional A-pillar trim piece for the install. I primed and then painted the lower half of the pillar black then clear coated before installing the pod.
