Default Where did you all tap in for vac?

I finally installed a boost guage last night, and I was wondering where is the best place to tap in for vaccum? Last night I tapped into the pcv hose that goes into the front of the mani, but it was leaking a lil so I just took it out until I can get a dist block. I've heard the brake booster line isnt the best spot. If all else I will take the mani off and drill and tap it for the dist block.

PS. what is normal vaccum at idle, I was getting about -20lbs, is this right? D15b7

and is there anything I can get at a hardware store or an auto parts store that I can use as a distribution block? I would order one but I dont feel like waiting.

Thanks

Vacuum source - Fuel Pressure Regulator

-20in vacuum during idle is OK.

ok, i am using the pcv and it is running like hell, i'll try that. It is stumbling hard all over the rpm range unless i have my foot to the floor, its real weird. possible leaking vacuum where the line kinked? or is it because i'm tapped into the pcv?

Tap into the vacuum line for the FPR then use a Tee, and connect the BOV and boost gauge to it.
