Default No boost?

Went for a little ride last night and discovered no boost seems the
Bov is not working, checked the vac line to it and found no problem
didn't want to tear it to the fender today. So I'll im trying it to night and see what happens. Was I on the right track or could it be something else.
Thanks

When I had a vac line get to close to the headers I ended up with no boost. Pull the vac line off the bov while the car is running and see if you are getting vacuum.
