Thanks!
OK, 15" and holding is fine.

Now, on the top of the VCV is a T. One end of the T goes to the transmission. The opposite end of the T goes to the vacuum pump. The bull of the T goes to the top of the VCV (with green damper attached).

What I want you to do is to remove the vacuum supply line at the T and connect up your Mityvac (other two legs of the T are properly connected as detailed above).

Pump up the Mityvac and get a reading with the throttle fully closed. Report back with result.

With Mityvac fully pumped up, gradually open the throttle and observe the gauge. It should slowly move toward zero as the throttle is fully opened.

Report back with results.
