I've decided to keep my stock gauge setup (seeing I have the tach ) and I want to put the stock/factory vacumn gauge in my truck so I wont have an empty hole in my stock gauge cluster.. I know I can buy the replacement gauge from a couple of different places but can someone guide me to a site or tell me what parts I need and how to install the gauge so it will actually work !!

It should just need a rubber or plastic vacuum line connected to full manifold vacuum on your intake. As far as mounting it in the cluster, the inner and outer tins are different and so is the clear plastic lens.
I've had good results buying from GMC Pauls. He has good prices and good products.

Thanks for the reply. Any suggestions as to where a good place to get vacumn from on my intake. I have a 396 with the stock intake..

If you can tap into the line going to your brake booster, that would be easy.

Thank You Clay and I checked GMC Pauls Site and he has a complete kit to put in the vacumn gauge and reasonably priced at 165.00.. Now to figure out which , engine oil temp, clock and trans temp gauges to put in the Just Dashes Tri Pod Dash Pad.. I would love the Autometer Carbon Fiber Series but they dont offer a clock in that series. Classic Instruments GStock gauges look very close to our stock gauges but they too dont offer a trans temp gauge that series..

Thanks ,I'll try that.. I was also going to call Classic Instruments to see if they would special order a trans temp gauge for the GStock line.
, but my preference would be the Autometer Carbon Fiber gauge.
