[s-cars] Qu: Adding Boost Gauge

[Sean Douglas]

Tony:

It depends on the type of fitting the Autometer line has. On my old VDO
gauge, I had a tubing kit that required a NPT with compression fittings
at both ends.

I bought a nylon t-fitting with a NPT on one end and barbed fittings on
the other two. Had to buy a 10 pack from McMaster Carr. If this is the
same as yours you can have one if you pay the postage.

I'm using a length of Autometer boost hose picked from local ricer store
that comes with fittings that fit the pressure in port.
