Alright guys. I can make the tester for $10 and can get an air tank for $20 at Sears. This better work, or I'll be back to complain.

Do I need to hold the throttle blade open in order to pressurize the manifold and check for leaks, or will enough air still get past it closed?

Should I pressurize from MAF to throttle body in one test, and then move the tester up to the T-body itself and do a separate test for the manifold? Or will there be enough air that everything will pressurize in one test?

I wish you were closer and we could use my smoke machine, I dont disagree with using the pressure method but the smoke is so simple, tap it into a vac. line, attach to the battery, press the go button and drink some beer while watching for smoke, if its got a leak the smoke will show almost imediately, no hurry, no pressure, fix what you see and smoke it again.....So simple!
