    Anyone have pictures of this kind of setup?

    Mine is on the shrader valve. Here's a crappy pic from my iPhone of my intake that's waiting to go on.

    I have a braided line ran from the schrader to the Autometer Fuel Pressure Sender which is mounted to my firewall with a cushion clamp, then the wiring harness to the gauge attaches to the sending unit. I thought I had a picture on my laptop but I don't. The cars still on the lift but I'll try and get up there and take a pic.

    This project is very easy to do, however having the actual gauge mounted back there might be difficult to read/see IMO.

    Well, it's just a fitting, a braided line, a fitting, and a gauge... not too hard to peice together, But here's a kit I stumbled on (4th from the bottom)...

    I only mention it cause i thought it would be nicer than a gauge mounted right to the port on an f-body (isn't that like behind the radio )

    I have my fuel pressure gauge mounted inside via a Auto Meter pressurized gauge isolator (a isolator that has a diaphragm with fuel on side and ethyl gylcol on the other) in the engine bay and a line running through the firewall into the gauge. I'll post pics if someone wants to see it.

    Sorry about pic quality too dark
    First Pic is the fuel isolater unit
    2nd Pic is tapped into schrader valve (Be sure you get it brazed onto the rail if you are using the stock line - they will break like glass)
    3rd is Auto Meter Phantom 2 1/2 inch gauge.

    I used braided hose to the guage and braided hose from rail to isolater (it was included with the isolater).
