I have one of the filter housing off and took a picture of it with the alan head wrench in the plug you have to remove to hook into the housing for your pressure gauge

thats the only place I know of on the filter housing. I drilled and tapped my manifold and screwed the probe in until tight.

I believe my autometer instructions said something like the tip of the probe should be in the middle of the manifold pipe, but you shouldnt have to worry about that. tight should do it
