The easy place to install is to get a banjo bolt and install at the pump. The only thing I would not like about tying the fuel pressure gauge into the fuel filter canister top, is that everytime you would need to change your fuel filter, you would have to mess with the fitting and the line that is tapped into the cap.

I just oredered the banjo bolt kit from Geno's and the black Di-Pricol 0-30 gauge. You have to find a conversion from the 1/4" NPT fitting on the gauge kit to the 1/8" NPT fitting on the banjo, but I don't think that's too hard.

The cap mounting didn't make sense to me, I figured there would be too much wear & tear on the seals that way.

I to am interested in where people are mounting their gauges too..... I'm running out of room under the dash, one towing brake setup and an external light switch mount takes up knee room.

The easiest place is the inlet to the pump with a banjo bolt and you will also need an isolator for the mechanical guage to make sure no fuel could ever get in the cab.

I've since installed a Holley Blue pusher pump.
