Fuel Pressure Gauge

I tried to do a search but for some reason it won't let me. I was wondering what would be a good mechanical fuel pressure gauge and what all is needed to hook to the top part of fuel filter housing?

I used an Autometer Sport Comp 2 270 degree electric guage (sit down when you price one!) I took the banjo bolt from the outlet of the fuel filter and Tigged a steel (not sprinkler pipe!) pipe thread adapter for an oil pressure gauge that I cut off. You can buy one, but I had the time. (Free is good!)

9lbs at idle, never gets below 6lbs at WOT

pressure is pressure so if your going with a mechanical gauge it don't really matter what gauge you go with. Geno's garage has a banjo bolt that is needed to tap in for the gauge.
