T from a vacuum hose of suitable size. Use the rubber vacuum hose, don't use the aquarium air hose.

for the light, connect the +ve to the lighter light, -ve to any metal part of the car.

This will switch on the meter bulb when you switch on the headlights.

Aii? Tot the vaccum hose already included with the vaccum meter when we buy it. How many wires actualy does the vaccum meter has? Some say 2 only some say 3.

A vacuum gauge should be ze first extra meter to install...helps a lot! In driving, fuel economy and carb tuning...to mention a few advantages...

install it di bro sky. i connect to the -ve battery terminal. can oso rite?

all over ur car chassis is Ground....so u can just connect to the nearest body ground...not necesary to direct to the battery coz it is too far....

for Positive wire, u can trace it at the ignition switch cable itself...

happy DIY
