vacuum gauge

[wayne buletza <rwbmg@voyager.net>]

During the early 70's the US experienced a gas shortage. Vacuum gauges were
touted and sold as a device that would enable a driver to "maximize" the
correct shifting points, thus "increasing power while improving milage"...uh
huh.  I have no idea how they worked or whether they worked at all.  But I'm
sure it looked quite "racey" banded to the steering coluum or screwed to the
dash.  Probably lots of uninformed folks thought it was a replacement for a
tach.
