Thanks

The one in my 66 Cuda works, and I checked it against a known good vacumm gauge.

I dont know if I NEED it but I figured if it works and is reliable it sure wouldnt hurt to monitor Vac.
Thanks

The one in my "Dacuda" works well and is accurate when compared to a mechanics vacuum gauge I have.

Once you drive with a vacuum gauge, you will want one in all your cars.
It is a great way to "see" throttle opening and other variables that change manifold vacuum.
It is one of the best gauges for getting max MPG.
