I got my fuel pressure and boost gauges in the other day and I am gonna start putting them in tomorrow. I was wondering where you guys that have them have been hooking up the sensors. I am using an electronic boost and fuel pressure gauge.
The boost gauge is really neat, its got a warning light and it is memory as well.
Thanks in advance

i have an electric fuel pressure gauge and it looks like it will be a bitch to hook up so i've been putting it off for like 4 months. let me know how it goes and if there's any tips you have for doing it.

I have that exact same setup.
For the E-fuel gauge, I hooked it up to the pass side fuel rail schrader valve. If I remember correctly, the valve accepts an AN fitting, i forget what size. The sender unit is a 1/8" NTP fitting. What you'll need is an adapter that is female AN on one size and female 1/8" NTP on the other.
Earl's didn't have something that simple. I had to get a female AN/male NTP fitting connected to a female NTP/female NTP to get the right combo.
For the boost gauge, which is also electric, I t'd into the fuel pressure regulator line.
I ran the wires through the firewall, up the kickpanel, throught the fuse panel and into an AutoMeter Pillar mount.
I painted the pillar mount to match the interior of the truck. I found that professional auto paint stores have the factory interior paint codes and can custom mix you a batch.
