Fuel Pressure Guage?
I'm looking for the cheapest and most effective way of putting an electronic fuel pressure guage on my TBI car. I have no clue where to start. I want to know parts that will be needed. Thanks.
EDIT: actually come to think of it I really don't need an electronic one, but I'd like to see pricing. I searched, and only came up with in-line guages (hence this new thread) but I might consider the mechanical guage under the hood...

A mechanical gauge is definetely the cheapest way. That's what I did, and it's working just fine for me. Here is exactly what I have:
SUM-800130 -Summit Racing 0-30 PSI Liquid-filled fuel pressure gauge -$19.95
SUM-G1710 -Summit Racing 3/8" hose, 1/8" NPT fuel pressure gauge port fitting -$5.88
Including shipping that comes to $34.78. All you need after that are two 3/8" hose clamps. Just cut into the larger 3/8" rubber fuel line, install the gauge fitting and tighten down the hose clamps, then just put some thread sealant/Teflon tape on the FP gauge nipple, and tighten it down into the fitting. Start the car, check for leaks and you're done.
Here's some pictures of mine installed:
