Electrical Boost Gauge wiring

I just installed my Auto Meter Ultra-lite vacuum/boost gauge tonight - more complex than I anticipated! I used the vacuum line from the intake manifold to the fuel pressure regulator - tapped in a T-fitting, and ran the included clear nylon tubing through the main firewall grommet to the gauge I mounted in an Auto Meter black cup to the bottom side of the center console. Here are the pics:
You can see the tubing between the #2 and #3 intake runner

NAM - Where do I get switched +12V for gauges?
Have fun!

I just installed my Boost and Oil Pressure Gauges. I received instructions from ProMINI (BMP) to tap the dimmer wire. This wire is colored Gray with a RED Stripe. The wire is located in the driver side wire harness. This will be the wire harness that goes to you fuse box left of the steering wheel. You will have to look for it, but it will not be to hard to find.
I used one of the new quick connectors to connect to this power source. You can get this at PEP Boys. It is made by a company called Conduct-Tite! The part number is 85468. I used the one that connects 16-14 Gauge wires.
There is a bolt located left of the steering column that you can use for a good ground. Your gauges will now dim with the rest of your instrument cluster.
Hope this helps. I will try to take some pictures soon to explain.
