Volt & Vacume Guages

[Dod]

What does a Vacume Guage do? Also, how is it and the Voltometer plumbed in?

[Stuart]

volt meter just goes to + and - on the battery.

A vacuum gauge just measures 'load' on the engine. It will read most vacuum at Idle and then tail off to 0 at max throttle

So where does it plumb into, into the intake pipe or similar? I figured since I have them, I may stick them into something....

[david dixon]

a feed from the TB or inlet manifold, maybe t it into a fuel reg pipe etc.

they wont tell you anything of use... just because you have the gauges dosent mean you HAVE to use them lol

Sell em on :d

Ah I know that but at least if they're fitted they can be seen as an extra to some young kid mad to get a Well Tricked out motor y0. Anyway, what arfe they worth, maybe a tenner each? Not worth the hassle of advertising them!

[Stuart]

not worth the hassle of fitting them either lol

it might add ohhhh nothing to the value of the car :p

[Dod]

Yeah but if it does add the "oooh" factor, surely that could make a sale? Anyway, cheers for the help.
