JTBC - apply vacuum with your mouth and quickly pinch off that end of the hose. Then watch he gage for bleed off/leak. It should hold the vacuum for quite a while.
My heavens, what a day chasing leaks. There's more than one reason air will escape. In my case, having gone from losing an inHg every 3 to 4 seconds, to holding vacuum steady. Whether it was methodically changing out vac hoses that might have had a hole in it to changing out "T" connectors that just might not have been large enough for the vac hose to make a good seal. Looking forward to the test ride tomorrow. The vac gauge was very important in knowing the integrity of the system since I was having problems. 2nd to having a gauge is having something else that produces suction other than me.
As I'm set up now, cylinder #2, #3 and #4 are connected with "T" connectors before the one way valve (properly oriented) to a "T" connector that joins the servo and vac container. I'm ready.
Edit: Forgot to mention #3 likely isn't needed for the servo to function properly, I just left it connected. The timing of #3 vac coming available is because my petcock started leaking, so I took it out, connected the fuel filter direct to the carbs and made a hole in the fuel cap. I found a rebuild kit for the petcock for 26.00 at partsandmore. Until I found that one, they've been at least 54.00.
