Gelbster I know you have been down the same rabbit hole and you did influence my work.

I bought a new vacuum reservoir and it would hold 15 psi of vacuum. I then hooked the same "mighty vac" type tester to the installed reservoir and it would hold NO vacuum. DUHH......

New reservoir and the hoses connections in the photo the photo let me hold 18 "Hg at idle.
