Default vacuum help

I have checked all the other things i can think of as to why my stock 02 vert would be idling rough . I need to check the vacuum pressure. I dont have even the slightest clue how. I tried using the search on here but was unable to find a how to article. If any one can help with pics and a basic walk through on where the test valve is and such that would be very appreciated. thanks

You find a VACUUM port (like for the power brakes) and hook up a vacuum guage-SIMPLE.

An easy port to get t is the PCV port. Look on the front passengers side of the manifold just aft of the TB.



Mine is a FAST manifold but the stock manifold vacuum line is in the same place.
