Please help. I have a 1995 z28 with a gen II nx wet shot, Im running a fuel pressure saftey switch off the schrader valve, and I have no room to attach the sending unit for a stewart warner electric fuel pressure gauge. is there any where else I could attach the sending unit for the gauge? Maybe I could splice a 'T' into the line some where? the sending unit for the SW gauge is larger than an autometer unit, limmiting my space. unless some one else has figured out how to run both a saftey switch and press. sending unit off the schrader valve, if so what type of fitting do I need to do this? (part #, or detailed description of fitting needed, and where to get it at) Im lost as how to fix this problem. If you have an answer explain every thing to me as detailed as possible as if I were an idiot. thank you.

Could you drill and tap the fuel rail? maybe 1/8" NPT
Even better have a 1/8" NPT bung TIG welded on the fuel rail.

I answered your duplicate question (not a good idea) on the LT1 Based Engine Tech forum, then moved the post to N2O Tech. The advantage of posting there is a couple of N2O system supporting vendors that have some great solutions, since they have the hardware to do it.

I suggested the NOS 17585 -4AN 90-deg swivel fitting, and a short braided S/S hose to a 1/8" NPT brass tee, or a distribution block from NOS. I thing NX may also have a distribution block available.

Drilling and tapping, or adding a bung to the fuel rail is a bit on the extreme side...... that's why I did it :D :D

You need bunghole for your fuelrail.
