My stock gauge (I hope it's inacurate) shows 10 psi with just a filter.

How accurate is the stock gauge?

Now I would like to install a mechanical boost gauge in yhe truck. Does anyone have a install page online? Where do you tap in. I already have the gauge, hose, and T-fitting, I am just waiting on the pod.

Thanks everyone!

 

I tapped in right under the dash on the drivers side. If you look under the dash, you will see the existing line. There is also a fitting about in the middle. I pulled out the fitting, replaced it with a tee and installed the new boost line.

I can get you pics if you need.

 

you can use the stock line, but i wouldn't tee it. Just disconnect the stock guage and connect up your new one. The mechanical guages aren't the most accurate and i've found feeding vac/boost to both guages, then to just the new guage shows different settings. I have an autometer mechanical vac/boost gauage so i have no use for the stock guage....which will probably end up breaking at some point anyhow.

Just my opinion.......

 

I you have pics available I would love to see them. It would get me a much better idea at what I am looking for.

Ah, ok. I honestly did not know that the stock gauge is mechanical. I thought it was a electrical gauge.

Do I have to remove the gauge cluster in order to disconnect the stock line? Is this hard to do.

 

look here, the install shows some pics...

Great instructions and pictures to go along.

I, however, would not use a T-tap for the connection of the gauge lights. You would be better off soldering the wire and taping or shrink wrapping.

 

You da Man!
