Hooking up F.P Gauge

got a procomp 0-100 fuel pressure gauge and need to see how to hook it up. Ive been told to just hook it up to the schraeder (sp?) valve, yet for that to work the little pin inside would need to be pushed down and the braided line from auto meter i got cant do that. how should i hook it up?

You need to remove that pin inside the valve. Use a valve stem removal tool just like on a bicycle tire.

Just remember to relieve the pressure off the system before you do any un-screwing. Otherwise you be drinkin' gas baby while your eyes are burning like hell!!
