Boost gage hookup

[Big Don]

Guys,



I've been studying an inexpensive way to hookup the boost gages and thought I'd share this with you. On the side of the head (intake) just infront of the map sensor is a 3/4" pipe plug. We found at the local hardware store that they have a 1/2" to 1/8" pipe reducer (very short) and then we got a 3/4" to 1/2" bushing. Put the two together and then your 1/8" boost line screws right into them. Costs about $1. 57 for the bushing and $1. 78 for the 1/2-1/8 reducer. So... ... ... for @ 4 bucks you've got the boost hookup without any drilling and tapping.

Thanks for the tip. I have a boost gauge on order now, and I am going to go this route.



Thanks,

I did mine the same way, Don. Quick and easy. Some guys tap the intake horn, but this has worked fine for me.

That is how I did it. It works great. Oo. Oo. Oo. Oo.
