Lost nut in Boost gauge
You know the little thing that slipps over the vacume line so that it will hold when the nut is put in place? Well long story short, its gone. Im sure people loose this thing all the time. Is there any place i can get a new one or something else that will work?

I bought 15ft of black silicone hose to handle all my vacuum lines. Are you using the clear hard plastic line that came w/the boost gauge. I bought a barb fitting for the gauge and run straight off the manifold... that way you don't have to screw with the stock crap hardware that came with the boost gauge.

Yeah, the compression fitting is readily available. I picked up a few at parts source... since I always end up needing to replace it whenever I pull the gauge out of the vent hole to get the radio surround off.....
Just take some vac hose in with you to get the right size....
The nut that goes over top, should be available too... it's just a standard compression fitting, but I have no idea what the thread pitch is. <G>
