Subject:      Teeing into the booster line

I am afraid that this would give an erroneous reading, reason is that the line to the booster is likely protected by an anti-backfire valve (at least it was on my '71) which would affect the readings.

BTW, I learned about this the hard way on the '71. I left it off in the course of a Type IV conversion and was rewarded with a ruined booster, not because of backfiring, but because of gasoline ingestion.
