I have the Autometer boost gauge for my 68's console, but dont know where i get the reading from. Does it screw into the manifold somewhere? The only hole on the manifold i can think of is the one between the carb and distributer, but i'm at school so unfornatly i dont get to see the car as much as i'd like anymore http://www.camaros.net/forum/frown.gif. thanks

that would be the best place to put it, or on the biggest vacuum fitting on the base of the carb. try to use hard tubing of some sort, to get more accurate readings. i like the plastic vacuum lines they put on the newer cars- you can find the pieces bent just right to make a clean, stock looking install that won't give you any problems down the road.
