Default Installing boost & fuel pressure gauges - HELP!!!

So I got the Speed of Sound dual gauge pod pillar, and purchased the Autometer Phantom Series 1 Boost and Fuel Pressure gauges...anyone ever install something like this setup before in their Stang?? I know how to get the pillar in, but I have never installed gauges before.

I'm looking for tips/tricks/or step by step instructions if possible!

Thanks in advance guys!!!

So sorry...what I'm looking for are more pics of the actual installation under the hood. What vacuum lines were used, where the electrical connections were made, where the sending units were placed...stuff like that!

very good...

for your fuel pressure sender location, i
would use an adapter block which sits
under your stock fuel pressure/temp sensor
unit (driver side fuel rail)

keyword: motoblue Y block


for your boost line, "T" into the vacuum line
coming off of the fuel rail pressure/temp
sensor.

you can see the boost "T", in one of my pics

Nice! That's exactly what I'm looking for! Any tips to get the wiring from the interior into the enging compartment via the A pillar?

well i used the grommet near my clutch
pedal. you have to remove part of the
wheel well lining for this tho.

there might be another access hole, but
i'm not sure where it is. maybe someone else
can chime in for that

I was literally going to post this exact question. Not trying to threadjack either but I don't know my a$$ from a hole in the ground when it comes to wiring these gauges.

+1 on wanting to know what connections to make where.
