boost gauge install

Postby Remps » Sun Nov 15, 2009 9:02 pm

Anyone know where to get a tapped bolt for the intake manifold?I still haven't put my 100 lb boost gauge in yet,cause I don't want to drill a hole in the intake.Any other options?

All you need is a 1/8" pipe adapter. There are 2 holes in the side of the intake with plugs in them. One is near the throttle cable mounting plate, and the other is forward a little.

Pete, on a non cooled truck you have to drill the throttle brackets to get to the plug you used on your rig. On my 89 it was just easier to use a intake bolt machined for 1/8th inch pipe.

Finally got the darn thing installed.Minus 40 Celcius here with windchill,and finally got access to a shop for a day and fixed a bunch of stuff.Drilled a 3/4" hole in the bracket,and the fitting that came with the gauge fit.Transmission and roads too slippery to get over 22 psi so far. :D
