I am trying to install an autometer boost gauge. my question is where does the line connet on the engine. i have no idea where to connect it. please help (pictures would be great). does it connect to the intake manifold and if so where???? thanks

Yeah, the line should go into your intake manifold.. there's a nipple for it near the passenger side of the uim.. i'll try to find a pic for ya..

Right here in the highlighted area.. :)

Just take off that black sleeve and connect it there..

thanks quickfini, i had a pretty good idea it went there. but the question is do just connect the hose there? with a zip tie. how do i secure it. the boost gauge came with these adapters and they look like they have threads on them to screw them on but the nipple doesn't have threads on it. thanks again

what kinda boost gauge? With my autometer, it had a 5/32 tube coming out of the back and then i just got a
"elbow" adapter at advance autoparts to go from 5/32 to 1/4 and stuck it on the end of the nipple.

I use an Autometer Sport Comp gauge and just shoved the hose into the nipple like a half inch. That sucker is in there; I don't think it will be coming out by way of road vibration. Just ram it home :)

thanks for the help, i just rammed the pipe in the nipple. it's staying. would it give me inaccurate readings.
