ground out the negative (black wire) onto the body of the car somewhere

then for the positive (red wire) mine is tapped into a fuse that only gets power when the car is on (look for the one for accessories).

Update. i tapped into the light in the little cubby infront of our shifter. that way my gauge only lights up when i switch my lights on.

i would have done it off a switch source off your radio j and to get the boost line in wait till you have you vacuum block but go where the gas pedal wires go out or the clutch line some place like that i just drilled a new hole for all to go out
