Thanks John

Take the car for a good 20-30 minute drive.

Remove the engine cover.
On the drivers side of the intake manifold you will see a rubber sleeve connecting the crossover tubes to the intake runners.
on that rubber sleeve is a nipple where a small plastic hose is connected. That plastic hose goes down to your fuel pressure regulator. Pull it out of the nipple on the rubber sleeve.

Now connect you vacuum gauge to your "Tee" fitting with a length of hose.
Connect the plastic hose you pulled out of the rubber sleeve to the "Tee" fitting.
Insert the remaining leg of the "Tee" fitting into the nipple on the rubber sleeve.

Start the car... just let the car idle and watch the gauge for a few minutes.
Note the readings on the gauge and also the needle action if any.
Your looking for a reading of 18 -22 Hg with a steady needle.

Let me know how it goes and the readings you get... also the needle action if any.

This picture is standing on the drivers side. I’m not quite sure where the rubber sleeve with the nipple is. Can you point it out in this picture? Is it on the side above the "P" in PORSCHE or the "E"?

Thanks for your help!

the nipple where you plug the T is right next to the power steering cap

Correct thanks Gilles. I was Salmon fishing all day just saw the post.

Thanks! Just to be sure, I circled where I will put the T.

That is correct
Sorry I am taking all day to reply but the hot part of the Salmon run is rather short.
Gotta fish when the bite is on.

Blue, I can imagine the awesome BBQ's meals at your place!
If I happen to be in your neck of the woods I would bring the tequila and beers :-)

I fillet most all fish I catch then cut the fillet into pieces and smoke them.
I am now looking into using the carcass and head.
Many different ways to make fish soup or fish stew.
Each country or region has their own spin on the dish.
Fun to experiment.

I am getting back to this. I have bees sick all week.

I took the car for a drive and followed the process. I am getting ready to hook up the Tee fitting and there is no way it fits.



There are other parts in the gauge kit.



Any suggestions?
