Have fun Gems!

While we are on the subject of useful tools and gauges I found an automotive vacuum gauge (0 - 30 hg) comes in handy. I used one to convince the GM dealer our CAT in my wife's Impala LS (rip) was bad.

I've got all the vacuum readings from all of my GM cars recorded too. Easy test to run at idle and 2000 rpms.

Just food for thought. These gauges really do not cost that much but I have fun playing with them when I'm bored.

Back in the old days I used a vacuum gauge to check the advance and timing out on my old Mopar '70 Dodge Challenger R/T (440 Magnum).
