Why do you want a vacuum guage? There's no need whatsoever on an SJ engine?

I know mine is a weber but the inlet manifold is the same.The x2 stabbings which the Orange pipes attach to will give you the pressure/vaccum in the inlet manifold.

neither can I.

Basically one of the little brass fellas that stick out of the area of the manifold under the carb.

Will try find a photo now.
