Evening guys.
Maybe you can help me, I have just removed my rather nice head unit from the B (just was not getting its use so its going in the coupe), and in its space I want to fit a few guages, 3 to be exact.
Right the issue I have is how the hell do you wire up a vacuum guage, I presume it fits to the inlet somewhere, do I have to tap a hole for this?
Cheers in advance
Nathan

Yeh it needs to fit into the inlet manifold after the throttle butterfly. A good tip is to fit it into the vacume advance take off with a t-peice or even the servo take off if you have one. Not that i relly understand the point of a vacume guage tbh!!  |

Its just for the look really and to fill a gap from where the head unit used to be. So I might as well wire it up to work.
Yes there is a takeoff for the servo, excellent matey,

Are these the thingys that can tell you what you fuel economy is like? Presumably basically telling you how heavy your right foot is?

In the case of a 100E they it could tell you how well the wipers are likely to work if you switch them on  |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |

They also tell you the condition of your engine if you have any manu figures to relate to.  ;D |

Put a T in the dizzy vacuum advance, runs off that quite well and prevents drillin' & tappin' a new hole in the fannymold |

Ahh I don't have a the vacuum advace on the dizzy, this was removed when I moved to Optronic Ignition.
So I will just run a T off the already hosed in pipe for the servo.
