well the autometer gauge came with 1/8 nylon hose, but to to lack of fittings, i switched it over to 1/4 inch instead. would the increase in diameter make a difference in what the gauge read?, cause right now its reading like 10 vaccum at idle, and i dont think thats right

im actually not sure, but that might make sense for mine . mine always reads about 2psi more than it should. i ditched the nylon line and ran like 4mm vac line tot he gauge.

Re: (blackeg)
well turns out that on the back of the gauge, one of the 2 brass bolts is loose, and it falls into the gauge sometimes. when this happens im assuming it hits something mechanical, cause the gauge wont read vacuum, just boost. also, when the car is off, the needle sits at like 1-1.5 in the boost column and not on 0. does anyone know how to adjust where the needle sits when the gauge isnt on?
