hook it right to your vaccuum tree (easiest)

or u could do it right and tap it into your intake manifold.

it doesn't matter becuase it measures the manifold absolute pressure. you can hook it off the vacuum tree. thats how i had it on my 2.3

u need to go to autozone and get a fitting.. its plastic and looks like a T. if goes into a vacumm line to make an additional one. next you have to get a rubber fitting that goes onto your hard line (comes with the gauge) to allow it so slip onto the T. or just a piece of 1/8" ID fuel line (moped fuel line or weedeater).

The knock sensor is not a through hole.

Just connect it to the vacuum tree than you don't have to drill and top holes

Any one will work, jet one with a cap since your not taking vacuum/boost away from anything then, delaying their reaction
