I am not sure what you are trying to check but for the many vacuum systems on these vettes, I would sugest buying a hand vacuum pump at the same time as the gauge. The hand pump will allow you to test parts of the system without running the engine and also to isolate sections for testing. Simple to use, I found lots of leaks or marginal components with mine.
