dose it read 10in of vac at idle? double check your lines make sure theirs no kinks or any thing that would throw off your gauge

10 in/Hg vac at idle is a bit low. I would doublecheck to see that you don't have any vac leaks. Where is your boost gauge tapped?

I had a similar problem when I tried to tap off the brake booster line. I switched to another vac. source and it worked fine.

What kind of gauge do you have? Where is it tapped? If the gauge's pressure source is inline and after the Missing Link, then yes, that will prevent it from reading boost.
