Boost and Fuel Pressure guage install

Does anyone know of a instuction manual or tutorial on how to install these guages? Im looking into a couple different shops to do this, but wanted to check into doing it myself first. Any links with pictures would be greatly appreciated.

They are autometer phantoms...Mechanical Boost, Electric Fuel Pressure mounted on the a pillar. The Kit comes with instuctions, but i am a visual learner, and wanted to know if there are any pics out there to aid me in this install.

Re: Boost and Fuel Pressure guage install

as far as the boost gague. I just put mine into a a vaccum line on the intake mainafold. you can put in a T in the line that vents the opti and then put your gauge tube into that. as far as the FP gauge, there should be a sensor that screws on to the shrader valave on the fuel rail. you will need a tool that take steams out of tires and whatnot. it is a little tool that has a cylder shape with a slot in it. take the center part out of the valve on the fuel rail and then screw on your sensor, and wire it to the instrustions. I will try to get some pixs here in a lill of the valve and the steam removle.
