I KNEW YOU WOULD PICK DOOR NUMBER 1.......A JEEP!
I ALWAYS TAKE MY VACUUM GAUGE TO LOOK AT A VEHICLE FOR ME OR FOR SOMEONE ELSE. ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING OLDER.
YOU CAN GET A LOT OF INTERNAL INFO ABOUT AN ENGINE BY WATCHING THE GAUGE'S MOVEMENTS AND READINGS......YOU STRIVE TO SEE A STEADY NEEDLE 20hg OR SLIGHTY LOWER (LOWER IS 21hg OR 22hg--REMEMBER THIS IS "VACUUM" NOT "PSI")

SOME CHILTON'S MANUALS HAVE DIAGRAMS WITH MULTIPLE VACUUM DIALS--EXPLANATIONS OF EACH DIAL...AND ARROWS POINTING WHAT THE NEEDLE IS DOING....MY VACUUM GAUGE (DOUBLES AS A MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP PRESSURE GAUGE..LOW PRESSURES--CARB CARS)---MY OOOLLD SET ALSO CONTAINS A COMPRESSION TEST GAUGE....I KEPT A COPY OF THAT CHILTON PAGE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX FOR A FIELD REFERENCE
WATCH HOW SHE JUST ABANDONS THE "TRUCK GUYS"....IN FACT, SHE'S ALMOST A BLUR...SHE SORTA MAGICALLY APPEARS IN THE "REAL VEHICLE"
I AM TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE...I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE IN 1981....HAD 7 CJs...STILL HAVE THE LAST 2....THEY WERE/ARE MY PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION THE ENTIRE TIME.
