Wiring Guages
I have two guages, fuel pressure and boost/vacuum, that I need to wire/connect to my car's systems so I can do the install on my dual pod A-pillar, but I honestly don't know where I should connect these and the electrical is a little above my head. I could use some help on where and how to connect these properly.
Boost/Vacuum-
The instructions say to use 18 guage wiring to connect one wire to a 12 volt constant (un-switched) pouwer source, and if using an un-fused source to include a 3 amp inline fuse.
The second wire goes to a 12 volt ignition (switched) source.
The third wire goes to a 12 volt headlamp source.
The last to a ground.
Fuel Pressure-
First wire goes to 12 volt constant (un-switched) w/inline fuse if not using fused source.
Second goes to 12 volt ignition (switched) source.
Third goes to 12 volt headlamp source.
Fourth goes to ground.
The instructions then say to connect the included fuel pressure sending unit to the fuel system, usually at the fuel rail.
Fifth wire is from the sending unit to the guage (this one I get
)
Last wire is from the sending unit to ground (I get this one too).
I can do the wiring itself, I just don't know where to make the connections. Any help would be appreciated.
