Default What adapter for brake booster line,boost/vacuum gauge

I've gotten my boost/vacuum gauge from glow shift and understand that most

people reference the level of boost from the brake booster line which I believe

is 5/8 id? But the T that comes with boost/vacuum gauge is tiny! what kind of T

or adapter do I need?

ProCharger has a nice vacuum manifold that provides 3 vacuum ports and goes into your brake booster hose.

Not the cheapest but you could use something like this from Fleabay.

No one is using a barb t from a hardware or parts store? I was under the impression the brake booster hose had to be spliced and a t put in between?

I didn't find anything at the hardware and auto parts store so I made one. I had some aluminum 1/2 fuel line from a race car project. I soldered a small aluminum Tube to it making the "T". You could do the same thing with plastic pieces and epoxy glue.
