Start the car and let it idle. Spray carb and choke cleaner around all your intake pieces. If the idle fluctuates, then you know where the leak is.

Or you could just pull everything off before the elbow and reinstall it, making sure all clamps are tight.

Check the hose between the rubber intake elbow and the injectors.

I show 15-17 in.hg. at idle on my boost gauge.
