Packman, the issue with plastic is the line has to run in close proximity to the exhaust manifold, and there's only so much heat it can take. So firts order of business should be running the plastic line thru some rubber hose, vacuum and washer fluid hoses work good for this. Then find some of that heat-shield sleeve material that you see on spark plug wires and power steering hoses, slide that over the rubber hose where it runs around the manifold. This should make things lots more reliable and quite a bit less likely to give you any issues. Or, get the SS braided turbo feed line from ebay and run it from the engine to a simple 1/8" NPT union somewhere on the fender skirting away from the exhaust manifolds heat, then use the 1/8" NPT compression fitting provided with you gauges kit to connect the plastic line to the same union. Hell the GrimmSpeed turbo line is 4ft long, that should be enough to reach the firewall even, so even less heat for the plastic line to bask in there.

I've never seen compression male on any adapter, pretty sure it doesn't exist. NPTM and NPTF to compression female exists though, likely it would have to use a short length of tubing with the compression ferrules to tie the two together.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I plan on using the autometer angle mounts and putting mine above the glove box, and/or in the A-piller.

on boxes (up to 89)... you remove the 2 screws for the radio trim and then one screw up underneath, just behind the ashtray.
on aeros and whales you release the clips and slide the ashtray/cup holders all the way out and there's 3 screws holding the track up.
