[s-cars] Boost gauge in a pod...

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

I just put a T in the line coming off the back of the manifold.  I then
drilled a simple hole through the firewall into the cowl area.  Routed the
wire through the cowl area over to the relay box.  Then I drilled a hole the
same size as the outer diameter of the vacuum hose.  It's a pretty snug fit
so there really isn't any problem with moisture, etc.

Calvin,

I haven't yet seen the pod "in the flesh", so I don't know how much
room will be behind it.  I am ASSuming that the pneumatics and
electrics can be run under the pillar trim.

If I have to drill a hole in the relay box, I guess I better figure
out how to seal it well, so that water and/or crud doesn't get in.

Thanks for the tips, I'll look at the situation in the morning.  How
did you tap off the IM?
