Hi.Ive got a Smiths Vacuum gauge. Can any one tell me where to connect the pipe to on a pinto manifold. Cheers Steve.

It needs to go into the main manifold chamber.

It measures the vacuum in the manifold, the higher the vacuum, the better the fuel economy, it just encourages light footed driving.
