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?

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!

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.
