Tom, click on the link I provided for pictures.
Don't bother with the gauge, you can't do enough with it to properly diagnose the system. Order one from Harbor Freight or JC Whitney or something like that. Does Canadian Tire carry a cheap one?

This is the one I use:

You can't own an old Benz without one of these.
