At idle speed (about 1,000 rpm) the vacuum should be between 19 - 24 cm Hg (7.48 - 9.45 inches of mercury). The most important thing is that all 4 readings are very close to each other. The difference between any 2 cylinders should be less than 2 cm Hg (.79 inches of mercury). Hopefully the tool you borrowed consists of 4 gauges and each gauge has a little damper valve near the base. You adjust the damper to eliminate the needle bounce caused by the cylinder pulses as the engine runs. Ed
