I'm beginning to understand the function of vacuum and I think I'm on the right track. That is unless someone tells me that I'm way off base.

So I think I'll look for a decent vacuum gauge that has the color coded sections. I still think getting into the throttle to hard and getting the rpm's too high isn't as efficient as cruising in a "comfortable" rpm range.

Now to research gauges and how to hook them up temporarily. I really don't want to hook it up permanent. I want to leave room for an UltraGauge someday and a permanent vacuum gauge will eat up a bit of dash space. Besides, if my idea pans out, I won't need a permanent vacuum gauge anymore.

I see the vacuum gauge as the rough tuning and the UltraGauge as the fine dialing in.
