For this insrtallation, first you must purchase a 3/4" to 1/8" reducer. Then locate the 3/4" pipe plug located on the intake between the fuel filter, and the firewall on the back side if the engine, it has a 1/2" square in the center, and can be reached with a ratchet, and an extension. Install the reducer, then install the boost gauge fittings, and line per manufacturers directions, and you are done! Good luck, and use some type of thread sealer to prevent leaks.
