Wll I pulled out the light switch and used a test light to locat the "dimming" wire to tap into for the source. I then tapped the pax side manifold towards the back, basically straight up. Not sure the size of the tap off hand. Do a search for EGT and there was a how to web site that had great pics of the process.
