The reading won't be as accurate and there will be a lag in response.

To get a spot for fuel pressure, you need a tapped banjo bolt. Geno's garage has them, they are advertised as a 24v part, but fit 1st gen's too. Or you could get a new banjo bolt and tap it for 1/8 pipe while your doing the pyro. There isn't alot of meat to do this but mines holding up fine. I got one locally thats actually Detroit Diesel part.
