Just find a power source for the lights.(I tapped the guage cluster wire) Ground the other side, then run a line from the vacume on the engine to the guage.

My recommendation is to buy a vacuum block (also called a vacuum manifold). Golden Eagle makes a nice one, and you can get cheaper ones elsewhere. Then, you tap the brake booster line off of the manifold with a T fitting, and run a vacuum line to the block, and then from there, a line to the boost gauge.
