Default No Reading from Boost Gauge

I hooked my autometer boost / vac gauge up and I not getting any reading at all. It just sits at Zero. Here is a pic:



I used the plastic tube that came with the gauge until the Tee. See anything wrong?

check hose for crimps, hose clamp could be crimping it shut. check for vac leaks.

does it work if you unhook it from the car and blow in the tube? if it does then you probly have a kink in the line. did you use liquid thread sealer on the fitting on the gauge? if you did check to see if you accidently got some in the hole.
