Any port in a storm...

I suppose I could even use my Mityvac, since it is the pressure/vacuum version. That would save buying a gauge and I could do it now.

[edit]
OK, there's boost. I ran a line from the Y-connector that no longer goes to ALDA into the passenger compartment via the window -- thanks, Brian -- to my Mityvac. Took the car for a ride. Maxed out at about 11 Mityvac PSI. Still doesn't perform like the two 124 300TDs I drove last week.
[end edit]

By the way, could this spare port on the manifold (see picture) be used for a more permanent installation?
