How to do a vacuum test?
I want to do a vac test on my 70 f100. I put a 351w in it. What is the best way to do a vac test?

Get a vaccum guage.... you can get one at an auto parts store.
Locate a vaccum line that provides full vaccum at idle, off the manifold, or base of the carb and plug the vac line into the port.
Read the meter. You can also read it when driving too if you use a long enough hose to get through the firwall.
Look for 14-20 at idle. It really depends on the cam. What cam ?

Here's a nice little page on interpreting vacuum gauge readings:
