Boost gauge on First gen

[GIT-R-DONE]

Is there a place on the First Gen trucks to just screw in the boost gauge fitting, or do you have to drill and tap for it? TIA

No drilling. There's an unused 1/8" NPT port just below the intake horn on the manifold. Just remove the plug and your boost gauge fitting should screw right in.

There's also a "boost bolt" that you can get - replaces one of the intake manifold cover inner bolts. Has a quick release fitting so you don't have to worry about over tightening the compression fitting on the tubing to the gauge.
