Santa passed last night

I got the mopar A-pillar and the Westach gauge last night! The wifey said I could have the hardware
but the gauge and the A-pillar gets wrapped up.

Looks like I am going to be drilling and tapping an exhaust manifold this weekend! Anybody know what size and type of connection is on the top of the boost bolt from Geno's! I might install it and plug it run the wires for the lights. Drill and tap the exhaust manifold and plug it!

YAY!!!!!!

If you got the stuff from Geno's you should have full
illustrated instructions.

If your boost gauge is mechanical with an isolator the
boost bolt will have a 1/8" npt female pipe thread
tapped in the end and there will be a connector fitting
that is 1/8" npt, male with a compression nut on the
other end for the small plastic tubing.

Westach comes with a rubber hose. I HIGHLY recommend using tie wraps for the hose on the boost bolt and gauge barb. I blown the hose off twice before wising up and tie wrapping the hose on.

IIRC, you need a 5/16" drill bit for 1/8" NPT or 7/16" bit for the 1/4" NPT used with the EGT thermocouple.
