If the VCV is behaving properly you should have (IIRC) ~10 hg of vacuum while driving, but this should drop to zero when the transmission shifts.

There are posts here and there on how to actually calibrate a VCV (they may be on BW) but I was not able to understand their instructions so haven't tried.
You mean to get a "T" connector and run a line with a gauge attached off of the line that comes from the VCV and goes to the modulator? I'll try this and report back. As for calibrating the VCV, as I already mentioned, my VCV is not the kind you can calibrate. Some have nuts that you can turn to change the spring tension while other types (like mine) just have a non adjustable sleeve.
