hi
where can i get this t fitting for my mechanical boost gauge?

hardware shop
or auto zone or something

 

Depends on the gauge. Mine had a very small capilary tube that used compression fittings, I had to make a brass T from the local Ace Hardware. None of the big stores (home depot, lowes) had the parts I needed.

If all you need is a plastic T you can get those at any auto parts store.

 

If you are using an auto meter gauge that uses that hard nylon tubing just pick up a 1ft section of vacuum hose from the auto store for 8 cents a foot. Then stick the nylon tube in there (make sure to get the same diameter) and zip tie the end so it doesnt wiggle itself loose. Mine fits very snug in there, perfect fit. As for the t fitting you can either buy a plastic one from the hardware store or go my route and use brass. Total cost for the pieces was less than 3 bux. Hope this helps.

 

Yeah, for the autometer you can get the ends that go on the plastic tubing like you see on newer cars. I just scuffed the end of the plastic tube and then used adhesive to glue the rubber end on and picked up a plastic tee.

 

If you are looking for a fitting that will fit a vacuum hose off of the intake manifold and the nylon tube, forget it, you probably wont. What you need to do is get a 1/4 plastic T connector, buy about 2 inches of a vaccum 1/4 hose, and connect the bronze thing that looks like a cap with a little hole in it that came with the boost gauge. then connect this to the T connector that is connected to a hose running to your intake manifold. If you need pictures I will send you my set up, and even send you the T connector, but I am sure you can get it from PEP Boys (harder at Autozone).
