Under the dashboard near the pedals there's a 1/8" vacuum line that runs from the firewall, through an elbow connector, and up under the dash to connect to the dash boost gauge. You need to buy an 1/8" tee fitting, replace the elbow with the tee, and hook it up to that. Once you stick your head under there you'll see it right away.

you can wire that puppy to fuse i believe 23 or 29 what ever the head light one is and ground out the other to a bolt and presto you have a active boost gauge :biggthump

Yeah, FYI, if you're hooking up the lighting, the easiest connection is probably to the light bulb in the cupholder. Don't bother trying to hook the gauge up to the dimmer function off the headlight switch, because the Lunars flicker like mad at anything less than full power anyway.

i had the column pod and ran the hot wire to the fuse box :biggthump and grounded out to a bolt under there tooforget splicing on that one

hey does anyone know of a good spot to hide a boost gauge but still be visible to the driver?

You could get a steering column pod - that's not very visible outside the truck.

Or, if you ask Gary, he cut into the leather panel on the side of the steering column.

Another would be a mount down in the heater vent panel in the center of the dash at the floor, but that's hard for even the driver to see. (there's pics of this one somewhere on NLOC.)
