So I received a map sensor from Coyotes old metro. And was thinking about tapping into the top of the CV carb (above the slide diaphragm, assume I wont interfere with the slide movement) and am having a little bit of trouble theorizing what it will detect if anything.

I want to think that it will be proportional to the needle position, assuming a strong enough signal, because it "looks" like it should work that way. The vacuum compresses the spring. The more the vacuum the higher the needle.

I don't know if it will have enough pressure for good resolution though because it doesn't take much force to compress a cv spring and that diaphragm is pretty large.

Any predictions?
