I *really* like my boost/vac gauge I got from summit - autometer. It goes 30in Hg / to 30psi boost. It wasn't that much in price, I think something like $40-50. I found gauges that didn't read vacuum that cost more. Jegs sells them too.

Most often the hose pulls off the back of the gauge, yup, behind the dash! PITA! IF you have been doing anything behind the dash in the last while, or messing with wiring under the dash, the vac hose comes off way to easy, the older ones moreso.
YOu can check under the hood on the Vac tree just to make sure there is not a small hose off there. Forget the actual sixe, I believe about 1/8' ID, as well.
