    Tried both of those. Even had someone else try to hook it up while I leaned as far forward toward the dash as I could. Still wouldn't reach.

    It is a 392 Hemi and it is the water cross over pipe that connects to front of each head. The 291 Hemi that I first had in the car, it went into back of head and the original gauge was used and worked fine.
