335 boost and temp gauge hookup

cwcm · 04-18-2012, 09:53 PM

Looking to install a mechanical boost gauge and was hoping someone knew the best place to tap for pressure line.
Same for a electric temp gauge.
Thx

I couldnt find a connection for my boost gauge, all of the hoses on the motor are vacuum lines. You would probably have to pick up an electronic gauge for boost.

I had someone look into this... seems the only mechanical way would be to tap into the intake manifold. Otherwise, you might want to check out some of the OBD2 solutions out in the market.

Why not t-piece it to the Diverter valve vacuum line?
