Hi,
I'm doing a bit of tuning of my Pinto and I'd be interested to know what the manifold vacuum at idle of a stock (or near stock) motor is.  Usually this is measured in inches of Mercury (i.e. "Hg), but if your gauge uses other units, I can convert it.
Thanks!

OK, I know this is a forum for enthusiasts, and hence that plenty have probably tweaked their engines to various degrees, but doesn't anyone have a near stock 2.0 that they could pop a vacuum gauge onto to take a quick reading at warm idle?  Pretty please?

From verrrrry dim dark memory when I bought the RS reading was around 18"Hg with stock cam and 145-150psi compression  - but that was 22 years ago now
