Thanx guys, I was planning on just getting a threaded fitting to fit the back of the guage. The fitting would be threaded on the guage (using teflon tape) amd would have a barbed fitting coming out... Hose clamp the barbed fitting at the rear of the guage and then clamp it at the upper ntake manifold with hose clamps... 3/16" vacuum hose sound right?
