Ok, i just order my volt gauge this afternoon. I am not worried because its an esay gauge to setup.. however where is the hole in the firewall that i need to run the wire through? If anyone has a picture of where it is and a little step by step on how to get there it would be awesome.

Thanks guys. -Chris.

just use a wire tap to tap into any 12v wire u have running to any instruments, the gauge will always read 12 no matter where you put it, when u turn on the engine it will be 14.
