Default Rationale behind vacuum instruments

This was written by someone running his AIRCRAFT engine at full
throttle at the altitudes used by many of us. A throttle setting that
will yield no usable manifold "pressure". A car is operated
differently.


I was talking about the other guy, not you.

If you too are too young to have had the experience, vacuum windshield
wipers did something different everytime you changed throttle setting;
sometimes they stopped totally, sometimes they went like hell.
