Push your metal vacuum connector in the hose until it is tight then run a hose to your gauge through one of the existing openings in the firewall.

BINGO! Thanks!! I'm going to pick up a spare hose from the junkyard to actually tap into so I don't have any worries about where I splice the hose.

Just to confirm. Red circle is the check valve. Red arrow is the hose to tap.




Hose - #8. Check valve - #7.
