Subject:CANCEL THAT: WAS Testing fuel delivery results, one oddity, now NO oddity

Fuel Pressure Regulator test (Bentley 24.25):

With vacuum hose (2) connected spec: approx 2.0 bar, measured: 2.2 bar PASS
With vacuum hose (2) DISconnected spec: approx 2.5 bar, measured: 2.2
bar HUH?

The pressure did not change with the vacuum hose connected or disconnected.

BUT WAIT. FURTHER STUDY OF THE PHOTO ON 24.25 SHOWED THAT I DISCONNECTED
THE WRONG HOSE. I THOUGHT THE "2" WAS INDICATING THE SKINNY WHITE HOSE
THAT CONNECTS TO THE VACUUM ADVANCE ASSEMBLY ON THE SIDE OF THE
DISTRIBUTOR. FURTHER STUDY REVEALS A THIN BLACK LINE FROM "2" TO THE
HOSE THAT GOES TO THE AFT END OF THE REGULATOR.

I am such a blatherskite. don't know how you people tolerate me.
