Ok I got the new gasket installed with a LIGHT layer of grease like suggested.
First is a pic of the old gasket, about construction paper thick.
Then the location I got vacuum from (off the manifold, next to the vacuum for the trans.)
Then a pic of the gauge at 1900 RPM's. Dead steady at 21.5"
Then a pic of the gauge at 700 RPM's. Vibrates between 18" and 18.5"
