I've been told the best connection is the passenger side of the brake booster - that's where I got the best reading when I was redoing my vacuum tubing. As for mounting the guage, I guess the sky's the limit - there was a group buy on A-pillar pods a while back, that would probably work pretty well.

I use Autometer gauges, plumbed the vacuum line into an unused port on the top of the intake manifold.
