I've heard and read that liquid filled mechanical gauges weren't very acurate, Don't know how true that is because just about every mechanical gauge is liquid filled. Will probably end up getting an electronic gauge when I can afford it. but til then I'd like to see what I'm running at.

I run a electic oil preasure gauge off the fuel rail. It's about $200 cheaper and does the same job. No leaks after 4 years. I put a tiny label that says "fuel" over the place where the gauge says oil

If you want a gauge full time, I'd get an AutoMeter that's intended to be mounted in the cab, but if I was just planning to use it under the hood, I'd get an EFI test gauge kit...if you shop around you can get one rather inexpensively since you don't need a whole master kit, but just the gauge and universal hose that hooks on to the schrader valve. I lucked out last summer and found a whole, new in box kit with two gauges, at a swap meet for only 40 bucks...those extensive kits can get into the hundreds.
