On the drivers side of the engine there is a large black bracket that secures the throttle and tranny linkage. Behind this bracket there is a 1/8" NPT pipe plug in the side of the head. That is where you need to hook the line up at. I have a 1" hole in my bracket that made it easy to hook up the gauge but I cannot remember if that hole is in the bracket stock or if it was drilled for access to the plug.

I thought there was a picture in the tech section that showed the setup but I was wrong(or at least I didn't see it!)

Here is a link to some more discussion on this item (still no picture tho) You can drill and tap the air horn or use a banjo bolt at the base of the air horn as well.
