| Boost Gauge To avoid adding pods to my interior I opted to switch the clock for a boost gauge. looksing back I wish I would have shifted all the gauges down and put the boost gauge on the far left closest to me. This would just make it easier to keep and eye on. Materials: - 2 5/8" Boost Gauge (I used Autometer Procomp -20 mmhg - 30 psi) - Soldering Iron - Dremel - Sheet metal Screws (4) |

| 1.) Gut the clock leaving only the metal housing and the outer trim ring w/o the glass. 2.) Cut out the rear of the metal housing using a dremal and add 4 set screws to hold in the new gauge. 3.) Remove all the wires from the clock connector leaving only the red and green wires, connect these the the boost gauge's light wires. 4.) Cut notches or drill holes in the gauge mounting straps(On the gauge and inside the car) to allow the vaccum line to enter the back of gauge. 5.) Mount the gauge in the Car and hook up your vaccum lines. Any vaccum port on the intake manifold will work, I used the FPR hole. You will need one port dedicated to just this gauge though as it uses a nylon line. To do this just "t" into another line for the line you had to remove for the boost gauge. |
