Boost gauge fitting???

[duffman1278]

I need to know what size fitting I need for my nylon tube off an autometer boost gauge? I've been searching around but havn't really found anything. Here's one thing I've found, will it work?

This is how it is on each end right now

Odds are it is 1/8" air line. They use a brass ferruleto pinch the line between the ferrule and a tube that slides inside the air line. You can find this at any truck parts store (think semis) and any truck stop with a service garage. You may have good luck going to an aftermarket auto parts store and bring in the gauge in case they only hire 'tards.

With the air line, would that allow me to hook it up to the vacuum lines?

You can get them at ACE Hardware they have lots, if theyre in your area.

I just searched on ACE's site for "air line" and it didn't come up with anything. Is that what its called?

[CoupedUp]

Are you talking about the thing that goes on the end of the line that goes inside the nut of the fitting to hold it?

If so, its a little football basically with the ends cut off and a hole in it the size of the line. I dont know what its called but they have them.

OOO, I know what your talking about now, but I still need to know how to hook it up to a vacuum line. Would that be with the "airline?"

[CoupedUp]

I guess do it the opposite way, just on the other end go to a barbed fitting than put a vacuum line on it to one of the hardlines under the TB.

Thanks alot man, that'll work out perfectly. You think this will work?
