Whats my normal vacuum, and where to test?

I suspect a vacuum leak, but I don't know which lines to test and what the numbers should be for each line.

I'm used to diesels that don't have so many lines.

Thanks

I get 22" at idle on the port that feeds the fuel pressure regular on the left rear of the upper plenum.

Yeah I get about the same, 21-22 at various test locations. Haven't tested every line yet tho.

I get 20-22 depending on the AC is on or off.

So should it be the same number for every vacuum line and system, OTHER than the PCV-intake line?? I think I remember hearing that the PCV is a controlled vacuum, so the value might be lower.

But for every other line should I see the same value as I get when plugging directly into the intake?
