Vacuum guage (permanent mount) hookup

[Mark]

Where did you guys with permanent mount vacuum guages locate your hookup?
Any type or brand recommendations?

Underhood or dash mount - I am open minded to either.

I put mine in the dash when I reworked the dash and installed a new harness.

mines laying between the seats I never planned on it being permanent. But its been there for 7-8 years. I guess I should either remove it or mount it. If I mount it I'll put it under the dash. But more than likely I'll just remove it as I only used it for tuning.

Here's one from Summit that I'm eyeballing.
I'm wondering where would be a good vacuum source on my recent EFI install to hook it up. Maybe just open a plugged vacuum port on my upper intake... I'm sure it'll come with install instructions.

connect the gauge to the upper intake, preferably by itself.
don't 'T' into something that changes the vacuum signal, like a brake booster as it can affect the reading.

Vacuum off the carb base is best, not a runner. The runner sees pulses as that runner sucks air when the valve opens. Carb base is much more stable to the whole engine.

I like this location.
