hook it up to the intake vacuum, normally the back of the carburetor where the brake booster may be plugged in. On a vehicle without power brakes, the vacuum port is normally plugged with a screw in plug.

How do you vacuum time a balance Chevy 350 engine with out a homonic balancer?
All engines must have a harmonic balancer instaled on them. Balanced or not. Hook a vacuum gauge to direct vacuum port on intake. That is a place that will have vacuum on it when the engine is running at an idle. Then read gauge and move the distributor until you get the highest vacuum reading. It should be 18 to 21 inches of vacuum at an idle.

How do you check if a1990 Chevy 1500 5.7 liter v8 has plugged catalylict converter?
You can hook a vacuum gauge to a direct vacuum source on the intake manifold. There's several vacuum ports on the intake. Gauge should read at idle 18 to 21 inches of vacuum, the higher the better. If it has real low readings like below 18 Then if you KNOW for sure there's nothing else wrong with the engine, then it's probley the converter.If you want to KNOW for sure then take the exhaust loose on both sides of the engine and go drive it. If it run's good and you like it, then put a converter on it.

1996 Mazda Millenia check engine light shows egr codes using vacuum tester and pulling vacuum on EGRr valve kills engine Checking egr solenoids vacuum Vent what will turn on the check engine light?
The check engine light is because the EGR 'lift sensor' is showing that the valve is not lifting when it should be, or it is indicating the sensor is open, or the voltage is out of range the lift sensor may be bad, or it's not lifting when it should be (vacuum leak, vacuum switch leak upstream) EGR normally does not activate at idle, or engine will stall (as you have seen). clear the codes, then hook up a vacuum gauge when driving the car. Once the car is warmed up, there should be vacuum at the egr valve at part throttle. If not, the upstream vacuum switch is faulty or vacuum is leaking out somewhere.
