On my '54 GMC 248 I disconnected the tube to the vacuum advance from the carburetor and checked the reading there. The manifold port has a hose to the power brake booster. I left it connected.

The book says I should get a reading of 18-24. I get 9.

Which port should I be checking? Should the other port be capped?
