There's only one that I know of. Maybe you can take the map sensor off the bracket temporarily and that will give you enough room? I installed a permanent indicator and remember that it came with some kind of mod for the map sensor bracket.

Re: 305 TPI Fuel pressure gage

Nope. You're not missing anything. Its a pain in the rear to get to. I got a 90* adapter from Actron to attach a guage to. I'm now in the process of removing the valve from the schrader valve and attaching a 90* fitting from autometer so that I can just install my fuel pressure guage and not have to worry about that impossible spot to connect things to.

This style gauge adapter
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-670290/ ( and a -4 AN cap to seal the open end )
is easier to install ( and remove if required ) ,just turn the blue nut

Some 90 degree fittings require dismantling the intake to get enough swing room to wind them in place

This is the one I went with to install my gauge:

It can be installed without moving anything.
