Hey Mike,

I've been wondering if you had any luck measuring the manifold vacuum.  As
far as I know, the Bentley does not describe the procedure or provide
specs for manifold vacuum, but the archives contain some good info.  The e-
mail I sent a couple weeks ago describes the procedure in very general
terms, but I am not familiar with the vacuum lines on a water cooled van
so I can't provide more specific advice.
good luck,
Jake
