So I'm an idiot. I read the vacuum gauge wrong .Its reading 20cm of vacuum not inches , indicating late valve timing so I have re-check my cam timing ?

The scale you want to read is on the inside of the dial.
Your showing very low vacuum in the video. Looks like lees then 7 in.hg
Where is the gauge hooked into the intake at?
Also you want to use as short a hose as possible from gauge to connection to the intake.

There is a rubber tube connecting rear flapper to left and right phelumn .Each one of these rubber tubes has a vacuum line .In my car one line goes to the fuel pressure regulator .I tee into this line between the regulator and rear connecting tube. The line is six feet long or so.

If I am picturing it right in my head then that should be ok.
You can double check by hooking to another spot and see if you get the same readings.
Also try a shorter hose to the gauge to see if that changes readings. Sometimes to long of a hose lowers readings.

I usually tee into the intake at the SAI connection to the intake. There is a little one way valve there that is easy to get to and remove so I can insert the tee fitting.
