Stock electrical sensor is right next to the distributor. Unscrew that one, and the gauge comes with the right fittings to put the feed tube in there. Yeah, it's fun to get to..... makes me want to invest in an air gap, or M1......

Once you get through this you'd better plan on sticking around. You'll fit in quite well with the rest of this cast of characters.

Glad you got it done. I know what you mean about the timing chain, mine was WAY slack and a new one made a HUGE difference.
