Mechanical boost gauge..

This was a simple install that was a little difficult cause I didnt have anyone helping me.
The nylon tubing comes coiled up, and likes to stay that way. While pulling it thru the firewall I put a couple kinks in it which created leaks, therfore I didnt get any response on the boost gauge

So I hade to purchase another nylon tube and was MUCH more carefull running it this time.
here is where I tapped into the vacume line. I went with this brass fitting that I found because the one that comes with the gauge was way to small to fit in the vacume line.

the rest is very straight forward, just run the line to the gauge and connect it. Make sure you use teflon tape wherever there needs to be a seal.
