Default Where on engine can I get a vacum reading

The engine in the car is carburated with an MSD crank trigger. Can anyone tell me where to tap into to get a vacum reading. Thanks

There is a I think 8 npt hole on the pass side of the intake by the carb flange, also can T into the brake booster line input.

On the manifold I have, there is no hole that I can see. Also, I went to manual brakes so there is no brake booster. On the backside of the engine, on top where the valley cover is, there is an electrical input which is not used and right beside it is a plug, looks like about a 3/8" plug. The carb is a Holley Dominator 1150. Don't see anyplace to get a vacum reading.

So you have a super victor? Should have a place to run a brake booster line.

No, what I have is a Performance Induction Specialties which I just found out was bought by Mast Motorsports.

no, if it does I don't see it. It's a Holley Dominator 1150. How do you tune a carb without a vacuum outlet?

If there is no vacuum port, than you could always drill and tap the intake in the runner or just below the carb mount. Eric L
