How to install, Fuel Pressure Gauge

Ok your talking to a Saturday morning mechanic here! I have installed an electric Tranny temp before but, how do I install this Fuel Pressure meter below in the engine compartment???

http://surpluscenter.com/sort.asp?UI...s&keyword=NFGA

100 PSI FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE
New Auto Meter Industrial model 1412 B2B fuel pressure gauge. Must be mounted outside of a vehicle. Mounting bracket included.

SPECIFICATIONS
Measures from 0 PSI to 100 PSI in 5 PSI increments
12 VDC illumination w/ case ground
2" dia. face
2-5/16" black bezel
Black face w/ white markings
Mounts in 2-1/16" dia. opening
1/8" NPTM rear connection
Two threaded mounting studs on rear
Shpg. 2 lb.

I guess the " 1/8" NPTM rear connection " is what connects to the "port" on the Fuel Filter?????? What will I need to hook it up????

Thanks for any help! Bill

0-100 is too much of a range, it will be hardly reading. Look for a 0-30, you will have a more accurate reading.
You could tap into the bottom of the filter housing with a tapped banjo.
