Question Gauge install help

So i bought a set of glow shi*s and was wondering if anyone knows where to connect the pressure sending unit to an air dog II? is there an easy spot to just thread them in or do i need to tap into the line and make a "T"? Also i have heard that there is an already threaded hole to attach the boost gauge fitting, does anyone have any info on this or do i need to tap and drill myself?

Order a boost bolt and use it in place of an existing manifold bolt. Use a t inline a ways back from the pump to avoid pulsations that effect the reading. The fitting sizes should be 1/8npt

Get a tapped 90 degree fitting that connects to your vp44.

make shure you tap in after the fuel filter, so you have correct reading to pump.

I prefer pushlock fittings . Eaton is available at Napa. Other brands are available on the vendor section od this website, or summit / jegs
