it comes with all the fitting you need and you hook it up using your check valve on the passengerside fuel rail... the part number is 105-4363 at jegs and its 187.99 id recomend the mechanical one 105-4312 its 36.99 both are 2 1/16 in.

Keep in mind that those part #s are only for Autometer's ultra lite series. There are many more, such as their Phantom and Sport Comp series, that offer electrical fuel pressure gauges. The kit will come with everything except the 4AN braided hoses.

I'd also like to add that running a fuel gauge inside needs to be isolated from the fuel...gas inside a vehicle is a very bad thing....

I used a 3ft 4AN braided line and a 4ANmale-1/8"NPT female adaptor to connect the line to the sending unit. The 4AN line will connect directly to the schraeder valve on the fuel rail. I then mounted the sending unit next to my clutch fluid resevoir. Do not buy a mechanical guage if you plan to run something inside. The Autometer electric gauges are definitely the way to go. Good luck!

I have the Sport Comp series electric gauge. I did the same as David did except I used some high pressure refrigerant hose to go from the fuel rail to the sending unit that I 'mounted' near the brake booster (I actually just have it sitting there with a few zip-ties securing it to the bigger wire conduit running through there).

I mounted the sender for mine right on the rail, UNDER the plenum.What i did was bend a piece of 1/4 brass tubing into a 270' loop (flare the ends) so that the line comes up, loops under the MAP sensor, and leaves the sender coming out low under the plenum.

There are more pics of the sender mounted to the rail w/ the plenum/runners removed here: http://home1.gte.net/res0t8sj/inj/
The guage itself is an autometer phantom that i flush mounted in the dash where the cig. lighter was, pic on my main page.
Besides the tube/flare nuts, you'll also need a 1/4 flare to 1/8 NPT adapter to match it up to the sender.
