That setup is a larger scale, doesnt translate to mmHG, it's more like inches of atf: But that means when you get 'close' you may be closer than you think! I've got .023 mig tips at the end of the clear hoses that I use also to hook my vac hoses to. Works fine, and since it's all hooked together they don't need calibrated before use

The pressure in the carb goes through some pretty violent gyrations as the intake valve opens and closes, Without the restrictor, the fluid in the tube would be bouncing around so much that it would be hard to get a reading.

Cool side effect of ATF versus mercury, smokes a little stinks but relatively harmless, just oil right?

Mercury is however very... not just very... EXTREAMLY reactive with aluminum and should never be used near it.
You cannot take any mercury on an airplane for this very reason.
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.
