Concerning this gauge:

What is the fitting on the back of the gauge, is it AN or female 1/8" NPT?

Call summit and ask. That's the only way to know for sure.

Thanks,
So something like this would screw in to the back of the gauge?

I used a 3Ft section for my Autometer FP gage, just make sure of the An fitting is the correct size for the fuel rail. And for the life of me I can't remenber if it was a 3 or 4 An, but had a problem getting the correct size.

That -4AN braided SS lines looks like one I used withe the Autometer FP gage. It was the -3AN one that gave the problem of not fitting. For ease of installation and mounting get the Autometer Mountinp Pod ($12.50).

Thing is I already got a 6' long section of -4AN line from work. It looks exactly like the one in the picture. My problem is that I have only one connector/adapter that is coming with the gauge and that is this one:

Basically does that line screw right onto the back of the fuel pressure gauge without any other fittings/adapters?

Your gauge might come with an adapter/fitting or two. Wait and see what it has.
