Amazing. Thanks for the diesel porn. Reminds me of stuffing a hemi into a (Ford) Courier. 4 mufflers and almost no legroom, but lots of fun. EH, I was young and single.
You've made an investment in your enjoyment, and that's a great thing to do. Best to both, and Welcome aboard!
Update: I bought this;
Longacre 46535 electric Gauge, Fuel Pressure 0-15 PSI
Google it. It comes with everything except the brass T and hose barbs for same. I love it and wish I had done this when I first bought the Burb. NO it is not cheap. I wasted enough money on cheap-o's and much...
Did I mention the boost and fp gauges are mounted in dash where SOME factory radios are? The junction asm I connected to is under the dash to the left of the brake pedal, just behind the parking brake mount. My radio is in dash right under the center a/c vents.
I should be ashamed but at this stage of life I feel lucky to get it ok. I poked the junction assembly with my volt meter until I found a good 12 v pin on when key is on run engine, and spliced into the cigarette lighter wire for a constant 12 v. I already had a separate ground for the boost...

It's not dirty, that's sunshield solar protection and anti-theft.
Windows and lights get cleaned constantly, that's a safety issue.
I'm dreading this, but wifey wants us to go to Texas hill country this winter; We'll need the A/C, functioning defrost, and heat, depending on the time of day, and which day. Thanx for the great write up and pix.
I made something like that from a 3" black ABS with a screw on 'cleanout' cemented on the top and a screw on cap fitting on the bottom, 1" copper fittings and some marine clear tubing. I had no problems with the tubes, it works very well. Seems like I posted pics of it but I may remember wrong...
