Adapter. Stock fuel line takes a -4 fitting I believe, so you need a -4 female to 1/8" NPT female.

You can use a JIC fitting. You can get them at places that sell hydraulic fitting and stuff..

Took another trip down tot he local speed shop and came up with this;

Its a -4 swivel T connected to another -4 swivel T with a -4 cap. On the two drops off the Ts I ended up with two 1/8NPT holes. One of them has my fuel pressure sender and the other one has a small liquid filled 0-100psi pressure guage. And I capped the other open end... The Ts are the ones used to put an inline guage before a nitrous kit and things like that.

Ill put up a pic to show what I did... I spent WAY more than I wanted to on this setup lol. But it will make it nice to have a guage under the hood to reference without having to run back and forth and look in the cab. They are proud of those damn fittings but it came out really nice $80 bucks later lol...

These were all russell fittings they had on the wall in stock, I told him what I wanted to do with the least amount of fittings possible and came up with what I've got. I like how it turned out.
