Where do you guys find it best to install a tuning (temporary) vacuum guage on our 2L FI engines? At the vacuum port under the intake that leads to the disty advance?

Re: Vacuum Guage
I teed into one of the lines that went from the plenum to some barrel shaped item right below it that's attached to the fuel rail. Looks like a fuel filter, but I'm not sure why there would be a vacuum hose on it. I put a gauge where the clock was, just because it looked cool to have the additional needle movement on the dash.

Re: Vacuum Guage
that is the pressure regulator and increases fuel pressure under load, hence the vacuum hose
