There was a comment on the FP and bending/kinking the line. I used a 3/8" braided line and cut a slot for the line behind the gauge pod. you can't see it and there are no kinks in the line. Yes, use a needle valve as a snubber if your going mechanical with no isolator.

I thought about a steering wheel pod for my fuel pressure guage but I didn't want the dash to be blocked so I molded a pod into my ash tray and it works great. It took a few hours to make but it looks factory and puts the gauge in plain view but out of the way.

I've got the triple-pillar and I put the FP gauge in the dash where the cubby hole used to be in my 99. Did they do away with the cubby hole in the 2001 dash? I seem to remember they did,,,,, BUMMER,,

Here is a pic

How hard was it to install, Ive got one and I just want make sure I do it right and I cant find a video anywhere.

I have my fuel pressure gauge on the column. Hate it. Obstructs my view of instruments and indicators. Going to change to a Westach dual boost/EGT gauge to get rid of it.
