Installing A Vacuum Gauge

[InTrenches]

who can tell exactly where to install a vacuum gauge along my vacumm line?

[Taz_Rx]

Just on any "post butterfly" (after carby) vacuum source.

[InTrenches]

so would way down next to the dizzy be fine? or would it be better to tap into it just under the carby?

You want a manifold vacuum source. You could tee into the line to the vacuum booster for your brakes.

[Karllos]

any of the lines really that are between the (throttle body or butterfly)

As long as you do it before the one-way valve :happy:

Most 4k/5k manifolds also have a little bolt to block up a hole in the manifold (runner to # 1 or 2). You could also remove that, put in a little fitting and run it as a dedicated vacuum guage feed. Thats where I use to run my boost guage and BOV for the carby setup from.

 

 

Follow the BOV line to the manifold. :happy:
