take a wheel valve and insert it in the hose going into the intake
manifold. I use a clamp to make sure its sealed. then put about 20
pounds of air, check this with tire gage. Let set for a few hours and
check to see if you have any pressure still in the system.

You could probably simply suck on the vac line.
I would do the check right at the servo to eliminate
hose leaks before condemning the servo. Those hoses
tend to get stiff and don't seal well.

There is a check valve in the line which could affect testing,
just so you know.

I had some stalling (no idle) on my '71 bus. with a '78 front end.
it would idle when I plugged the vacuum line to the servo.
How do you check for leaks in the servo?
