Default Ford racing boost gauge and rev counter/shift light

As title

1 when hooking up my boost gauge do i tee in to the vacum tubing comming from the fuel regulator or the one comming out of the top of the dump valve

2 the only wire i need to hook up is the green which goes to the live on the coil but i have now fitted a wasted spark system and need to know which wire to hook into there are two black and one red entering the coil pack
am i right to assume it is the red one

Help appreciated

Boost gauge i would t into the DV point. You dont realy want to mess adding things onto the pipe that goes to the fuel regulator as its too important.

Can't help on the tacho

As said leave the pressure reg one alone and use another.
The rev counter may not work with the coilpack as it will sense 1/2 the amount of rpm, unless it is adjustable, there is a fix that might work using two 1N5408 diodes though only a few pence.

Hi you are best off putting a fitting into the side of inlet manifold and t off the pipe that you took off with the other connection .
