one end of the tubing goes on the end of the tube sticking out the back of the gauge and the other end goes onto a vacuum take off on the inlet manifold.

then just wire it up as it shows you in the diagrams

electrical eh.

you connect the gauge to the sender with a wire.

my oil gauges are electrical.

the sender goes on the engine to get a reading then it sends it back to the actual gauge itself through a wire.
