I need a little help and some links would be great too. I am trying to figure out how to wire in my boost and wideband guages. the boost guage only needs to be wired for the light wich i figured i would hook up to the headlight switch. the wideband however needs to be hooked up to a 12 switched ignition sorce, where is a good place for it? and I also need a good chassis ground ? does that mean i cant just wire it up to a standard ground? sorry for the rookie questions but wiring has always been a huge week point for me and any help would be great. thanks.

If you pull your gauge cluster out there is a wire that is pink with a black tracer in the right side wire harness that is a switched 12 volt source. you can tap into that. The ground can bond right to steel behind the gauge cluster.
