Well this is a cool bit of information, it seems I have mine setup wrong also (may be part of my troubles). So thanks Rich, but may I just ask, if you could please show me where I would want to connect it instead for manifold vacuum on a Holley? I'm still pretty new to this and have no clue where to move it to.

P.S. Sorry to jump into this thread for my own question, but idk where else to find this. Thanks!
