Default gauge install

Which wire do I tap into for the dimmer switch and what should I use in my fuel pressure gauge?

Where is the boost bolt supposed to go? I had it in one of the bolts right next to the valve cover but wasn't making any boost at all. I know that the tube isn't kinked because when I blow into it I can get the needle to move.

Here is a pic from Diesel Manor's website for the boost bolt:

Ok thats the exact spot I have mine in and its not even lifting the needle a tiny bit. Could I possibly be leaking all of my boost somewhere?

Nevermind. I wasn't putting enough load on the engine.

With my wiring I'd rather tap in right behind the headlight switch rather than tapping into a fuse so I was wondering which color or number wire goes out to the dash.

Also with the fuel pressure gauge is it ok if there are some air bubbles in the water side? Should I try to put some antifreeze in the gauge itself or will filling the isolator and the tube be enough.
