96548, How to install autometer 52mm boost/vaccuum gauge?
Posted by clipse_2005, Jul-31-06 01:47 PM
Well I have searched everywher I could think of, including this site, and I still cannot quite figure out how to hook up this particular boost gauge. The reason I say "this particular" one is because the gauge that I have has a VERY thin nylon hose as its source for boost/vaccuum. Whereas every write-up I have seen are people who have boost gauges that have a fairly thick vaccuum line coming from the gauge. I'm sure there are at least a few people on here who know what I am talking about what I talk about the thin nylon hose coming from the back of the gauge.
My main question is... how would you "tee" that small hose in with all of the larger vaccuum hoses in the engine bay? I've been looking for a part such as this online but have had no luck. Can anyone help me out?

I took that thin nylon hose, ran it into a vacuum line slightly larger then it, and clamped it down with zip ties and then just used regular vacuum tees.
