One note about that... if the gage goes red under slight acceleration... say 1500 rpm's thats a pretty good indication of a vac leak... as that gage is measuring manifold vaccume pressure. Look for slits in the rubber... and try spraying ether or propane around suspect areas while listening for an increase in engine revs from the extra fuel drawn in there.
