Are you asking or telling ?
remove the scrader valve from the fuel rail.
install a an4 elbow to whatever size the sender is npt 1/8 or whatever.
wire up the gauge and there you go.

Re: fuel pressure gauge

You need a sender, it hooks onto the an4 fitting on the fuel rail.
remove the schrader valve and install a adapter. Wire it up and your set.

Re: fuel pressure gauge

The question is why do you need one? You can easily install a mechanical gauge into the same port. It's not really useful most of the time that you would need it in the cockpit. If you are testing while driving then run a hose while you are testing and take it off when you are done. AFR gauge is sufficient to tell you something may be wrong with fuel delivery if it goes lean. Fuel pressure is all over the place during operation as it changes with manifold pressure.
