Vacuum gage Connection

This may be a simple question and I will feel like a jerk once someone explains the operations too me.


On my stock 235 Apache, how do I hook up a vacuum gage, so I can read it from inside my cab, (dash mounted)?

you will need to find a location that looks acceptable to mount gauges,since the dash is so small there isn't much choice than to mount underneath.People frequently add gauges in groups that-Ie temp,oil pressure,etc. Other than that, I think that a vacuum gauge only connects to one vacuum line,and maybe one electric wire if lit up. Depending on what carburetor you have,you hook up the vacuum line to an open port,or tee into an existing line. Electric is similar in that you connect to an open junction on the fuse block with the wire for lights-or onto the light switch so that the gauge lights only come on when the lights for the truck are on.
