fuel pressure guage

I just bought an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and was wondering where you put the guage to adjust the pressure?

The gauge will hook up to the schrader valve which is on the fuel rail.

Re: fuel pressure guage

Thanks for the info guys,I just borrowed a guage from a friend and the guage has 1/4 male thread so my question is do you have to get a special adapter to put on the schrader valve to read the pressure since its like a tire?Or just a normal fitting?Does the fittting have to push the pin down in the schrader valve to read pressure?

Yeah It need to push down the little needle.
The connector is an -4 AN (female on the fuelpressuregauge side)
