The link didn't work for me but if it's a fuel pressure gauge, the I plumbed my fuel pressure sending unit to the Scrader valve on the fuel rail. The Schrader valve (like a tire valve stem) is a -4AN thread. You can buy a short braided SS hose to attach to the Schrader valve. Your fuel pressure sending unit is most likely a 1/8 NPT fitting. You can buy a -4AN to 1/8 NPT adapter to allow you to attach your sending unit to the hose. The valve stem inside the Schrader valve will need to be removed; this can be done with a valve stem tool (same as for a tire valve). Use a rag to catch the small amount of fuel.

There are electical connections that will be explained with the gauge.
