pics?
From your description I would have said the vac part is a sensor which sends the figures top the readout?

sounds like you have an electronic gauge with Gauge and sender. if so vac pipe runs from fpr vac line to sender unit and the wires from sender unit to gauge.

Looks like mine I've just fitted, black will be earth, red live and green is sender, I joined to each matching colour and then add extra length wire to reach fuse box and vac line connects to sender job done

So basically if i understand right,
Vac sender/guage cross red/red, black/black, green/green then run red to ignition 12v and black to earth. Job done?
