Electric Fuel Pressure Gauge?
How exactly do you have it hooked up if you have one? There is a sender i believe. I was looking at the Autometer guages, and it says it's a 1/8 fitting i believe. Can anyone give me a little more info on what to expect to have to do to install this.

A sending unit is mounted to your fuel rail schrader port. You'll need a fitting to screw on to the schrader valve and an adapter to fit the other end to the sending unit. You'll also need to remove the valve in the center of the schrader valve (like a valve stem on a tire). A harness connectors to the end of the sending unit that routes through the fire fall to the interior. It plugs into a controller that gets power and ground and then hooks up to your gauge. Your gauge will also include a connection for a backlight to light up the gauge when the headlights come on.

The Schrader is a -4AN connection.

Also, don't mount the sender directly to the fuel rail, use a braided line and mount the sender to the firewall with rubber isoloators. vibrations can cause the sender to go bad and give you false readings.
