Question boost gauge hookup prt 2?

Alright I just got started on this thing and went back to look at my earlier post just to see of Id gotten any more tips and found out that because my truck is not IC I cant mount this thing the way I originally thought , so whats the best place to install the line? If anyone has any pics handy that would be outstanding.However any info is appreciated.

The plug is there, you just have to drill a hole through the throttle bracket to access it. It's easier than drilling and tapping.

Thanks to your other post, my fitting is installed. I agree with wanna, an access hole is real easy.

Alright ,one more ? When you say it is on the intake horn the only place I saw that looked like what ya'll are describing where the intake turns down there are two bolts there one is attached to something the other is not ,this is what I figured was the correct spot,however the fitting on the boost line is larger than the hole,am I in the right spot or no.

It should be just to the left of the oil sending wire and hole you see here. This is my old setup. You can see where mine was at the top of the pic, and it had to be drilled and tapped-the one in the block is a whole lot easier.
