That's what I *think* it is too, I guess I'll get off my lazy ass and remove it tomorrow to actually check. :laugh:

I pulled the plug out and it's actually a 3/8'' fitting. I ended up getting a 3/8'' x 1/8'' brass reducer/bushing from lowes to install my boost gauge.

Here's a picture of one for reference...

Here's what I did on mine. The fittings were free courtesy of my work.

What all do you have sourced off of that? I only have my boost gauge sourced there so I just used the 3/8'' to 1/8'' fitting along with the 1/8'' to 1/4''(?) adapter that came with my boost gauge. Then I ran the nylon tubing along the firewall and through the plug where a clutch master cylinder would mount if one were in my car. I have my gauge temporarily mounted on the steering column for now. I'm going to pick up a spare a-pillar soon to fiberglass a pod to. I'll probably end up with a three gauge pod, I guess I'll install a trans temp & volts gauge to go along with my boost gauge...

My RFL BOV and my boost gauge run off of there. My boost gauge is also tie wrapped to my steering column. I'm mid way through fiberglassing a triple pod to an extra A pillar I have. It just needs a bit more sanding, and then paint.
