If the gauge is reading high by 10" Hg, you would get the readings you recorded. When you get around to working on the vacuum side of things, I would get a second gauge to check your readings.

My bad....that's what I get for taking notes at night while trying to drive the car!!! The gauge only goes to 30....so I should have said 25.
