Fuel press. gauge install ?

Where is the best place to hook up my fuel pressure gauge on my 95 12V and what size is the port? Is it possible to use a needle valve at the port so that I can use this for shutting off if the nylon line begins to leak?

Follow Infidel's other advice - use 1/8" air brake line with 1/4" tubing over top of it for abrasion resistance, rather than the nylon boost stuff.

NAPA should have 1/8" air brake line.

Yeah, it is similar to the nylon stuff but is made from something else.

I don't suppose you could post a link to that article by Bill could you? I've got a gauge I need to hook up someday, too!

Where did you mount your's?? Anyone have any underhood mounting opinions or locations?

Thanks,
Chris
