Default Where to attach Manifold Pressure G3X sensor

So trying to get some of my stuff installed for my G3X system and not sure how best to connect my MP sensor that came with the G3X engine kit. Anyone have pictures of what they did?

thanks,

I used the 3 position manifold from Van's that I bolted to the firewall. I ran a hose from the AN fitting in the #3 cylinder to an AN fitting that attached to the bottom of the outer position in the manifold. (Be sure to put the fitting in the manifold before you bolt it to the firewall. Ask me how I know )

The pressure sensor screwed into the opening perpendicular from the firewall. I used the top opening to feed manifold pressure to my ElectroAire electronic ignition control box, but you could just use a plug if not needed.
I used the other two positions on the manifold in a similar manner. Oil pressure hose to bottom, oil pressure sensor to middle, and oil pressure switch on top to turn on Hobbs meter and turn on/off oil pressure idiot LED in instrument panel. The fuel pressure hose went to the bottom of inner position, with the sensor in the middle position and a plug in the top.
If you need a picture, I will take one and post it.

Hobby,

Thanks, that is what I was thinking of doing, but was not sure I wanted to run a hose from the #5 cylinder across the accessory case to where the manifold is attached on the 10 (it is on the other side of the firewall from the #5 cylinder). I guess I will measure the length hose I need and add it to my next oder.

John
