not really what i was looking for but thanks. I have seen little fuel pressure guages that you can mount near the tbi. what i was looking for was info on fittings and pics for reference. someone told me to just cut the fuel line and put an inline guage with rubber fuel line. I dont think that will work because of the pressure...

Re: need pics and info on installing afuel press. guage on tbi

a typical tbi fuel pressure sytem is only 15lbs ,ideally you should have minimum of 10lbs at the tbi ( I,ve heard you can get by with as little as 9) but 10- 13 is pretty ideal, you can just cut out a piece of your fuel feed line and splice in a couple pieces of rubber fuel line and a barbed 1/8" guage port , or if you want a real professional installation you can go the AN fitting and hose route deffinitely lot more expensive thats the way I went all stainless hard line from tank to bay and braided hose to the tbi , if you need more info or pics I'll send you some just ask
