Installing digital air/fuel monitor and digital fuel pressure gauge..

is there any hints anyone can give me when installing these tomorrow? Where does the fuel pressure gauge connect? To the schrader valve? What about the air/fuel monitor?

Thanks

i believe you need to add a fuel pressure sensor to your fuel line to isolate the gauge...as you said digital fuel, therefore electronic.
i also believe you'll be connecting the A/F monitor to your O2 sensor, or if you don't have one, you soon will
Anyone else with a more profound opinion and facts, please correct/agree with me.

You don't have to add a fuel pressure sensor. The fuel pressure gauge connects to your fuel rail.

theformula,
That's what i thought, but i wasn't about to say "Its the fuel rail that it connect's to.." just incase i was wrong. Didn't want to get flamed or some crap

Whose digital gauges are you using? If Cyberdyne then you might want to reconsider. I've used them before and they were never accurate. The gauge would show 13psi while a conventional gauge showed 11.5psi. I replaced it with one of Autometer's electric fuel pressure gauges with much success.
