FP gauge install question

There are 2 plugs on the top of the fuel filter housing, can these be used to intall my fuel pressure gauge? If I can use them for fuel pressure readings which one of them do I want to use to get post filter readings?

This is my '99 setup to monitor Post fuel filter pressure readings.

You got it! Use the set up Shovel has there are you are good to go! The needle valve is optional, but a really good idea if you have a leak!

Shovelhead, a clean engine = sick mind! [laugh] [eyecrazy] :o

Thats it!! With the install being that easy what are people always messing around with tapped banjo fittings and schrader valves?

Thanks

The 98.5s and the '99s are the only ones that used this filter canister design.
In 2000, Dodge changed it to a 'drop-in' type setup to make it easier to change the filter.

Better get the Simple Green out and give her a bath! I'm not sure what a dirt engine means! :confused:
