u kno my engine LOL but yes its the Series two where do i hook up the Boost gauge u wouldnt believe the stuff i have done tonite because of finding this site thanks

I haven't done one myself yet, but someone I know has his "T" 'd into a hard plastic line that runs across the rear valve cover. I really like his setup, he has an oil pressure gauge and boost gauge mounted in place of the ash tray. I'll have to post a pic.

this will help

dude thanks so much for ur help

so does that cover close up over the ash tray gauge?

Has anyone tried a window post setup?

the cover closed on both setups i had in the same location, but i trimmed a little off of the lip on the cover the second time. havent seen a pillar setup, but i dont like them normally and think it would be even worse in this scenario since it wouldnt keep up w/ the sleeperness of the car. i cant remember which illumination wire i tapped into or how i did it anymore.

Yeah, I'm sure it closes just fine.

i believe deekster_caddy (sp) has a pillar gauge setup

um i went to that site that shows how to put the boost gauge in on the Pontiac and I'm confused as to how you can measure boost using a vacuum path. Are there any ports below the roots on the manifold?

So the best place to run hoses and such through the firewall is through that plastic section near the brake pedal?

what year is your riviera?

No one has made a write up on putting a boost guage into a riviera. The pontisc is basically the same engine (note the eninge in the link is a series 1 L67) .

i ran mine thru the rubber piece that the steering shaft runs through an Ted it into the plastic line that runs to the intake under the SC snout!

the T is the best place to tap into, but as far as going through the firewall IDK. that water shield over the rack and pinion sounds like a good route.

conveniently, theres a plugged port on the top that i am going to connect a vac. gauge i had from my last car to but i certainly do want to get a boost gauge. btw its a 97.

This reminds me, Where's the PCV valve?

how to replace a pcv valve



this is where it is



also, modify your intake setup so you don't suck in hot air

oh wow i didn't know it was inside. im not going to tell you what i thought...

well thats it for now (vac gauge not boost yet) id actually have to buy that

its stubborn, use a flat screwdriver or something of the like. just be careful not to push laterally too hard on the plug its self because i think its plastic

have u taken it off yet>

if we are talking about the same thing (the vac. plug that's circled in the picture) then yes, that's what I connected my vacuum gauge to
