If yours is just a pipe (not electrical sender), then route a pipe to the top middle of the manifold, there is a stub there covered with a plastic cap, remove cap and push pipe on - keep cap for later use if required!

Really easy job, did my the other week, just need to tap into the fog wires to power the light for it,.
Where are you looking at mounting it? did mine in a piller pod and rang the pipe down the apiller then had a gromet under the pedals that when through into the engine bay, was only 15min job.
heres a pic of the black nipple, not to sure what year the engine is (nicked it from google) but it will be more or less the same, mine was, apart from it was the middle nipple that didnt have anything connected to it.,

you can tee into the dump valve vac pipe or any other vac pipe on manifold if you do not have the spare nipple on yours.
i used the dump valve vac pipe on mine and it works just fine.

Nice help! Thanks Guys, gonna try fitting when I'm off. Silly last question, how will it "read"?
When I start the car, and it's idling will it read zero??? And if I set off and give full throttle, what should it be reading?????
Cheers, I am trying to find my feet!!!
