AM boost gauge includes...?

[A-dub5513]

I was just about to install the mech. boost gauge and guess what? It came with install instructions for a nitrous gauge.

I may still be OK with the install procedure, but I'm not sure as to what kind of hardware is included.

According to downloaded instructions from AM, there's an adaptor to connect the nylon hose to the gauge, which I don't have. I also don't have ferrules, grommets, compression nuts, or NPT adaptors or are these sold seperately?

If you think I could get everything from Home Depot, let me know. Ours is open 24 hrs.

Most decent auto parts stores will sell a gauge install kit that includes 8 feet or so of the plastic line and an assortment of the fittings (the ones you mentioned). It's about $8.

You might need some additional fittings depending on how you tap into a vacuum line.

I think my site has some text and pictures on how I did mine.

Be carefull with the plastic line. It kinks easily and is ruined instantly.

Call autometer. I had the same problem when I bought my boost gauge. It doesn't included the necessary connections.

Autometer told me (this was about 1.5 years ago) that the parts listed are only sold with vacuum gauges. I told them but this is a boost/vacuum gauge and it should come with the parts listed on the diagram. The guy totally agreed. I think it was some corporate decision that they realize is a foolish one. They promptly sent me the parts at no charge.

The adaptor connecting the back of the gauge to the nylon tube looks like something AM would supply. So these are not normally included?

Some have hooked this between the JR regulator to the manifold. I beleive you (Greg) tee'd the OEM regulator vacuum hose which is where we tee'd the BTC isn't it?

Thanks, Marc.

I e-mailed them earlier today. Hope they do the same for me!
