Idle vacuum leak...or is it? 200 1983

That was it. Thanks! Huh...I didn't know the vacuum wasn't the same throughout the system...plus, the T-junction that originally came with the car (I suppose it was there to make it easy to install a vacuum gauge as an accessory upon purchase) was located exactly where I had run the line from before, as if it was meant to be placed there. Apparently not if one wants to get an appropriate economy reading. I suppose it's different for a turbo car.

Anyone care to elaborate on that? I'm interested in how that sort of system works, like how the vacuum is created and how other things depend on it, and why the vacuum disappears on one side when idling. Thanks!
