Fuel pressure gauge sending unit location

[1984 t-type]

So I thought I had a solution that would allow me to run both my under-hood gauge and electronic sending unit both off of the fuel rail but it didn't work in the long run. Does anyone else have a way they are running both off a stock fuel rail ?

Put a Y-divider/ tee on the fuel rail

Thanks I will check that one out. Is that the right part number or just something similar ?

I've never had luck with those aluminum fittings. Always leaked. I would use this one www.casperselectronics.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=57&search=Fuel+pressure&description

If I used the Casper’s adapter what size are those threads I would need to adapt it to this sensor. It’s 1/8 npt male.

I believe it's a -4AN fitting.

One of these top fittings and a 1/8" NPT coupler/female to female should work.

You can verify the fitting with GNVenom on the board through PM he runs Caspers and is very helpful on a wide range of topics including all the parts he sells.

Just went through this.
The end of the fuel rail is 4 AN. I had an aluminum adapter that allowed me to use both
my Kirban's Fuel pressure gauge
https://www.kirbanperformance.com/product/111/EFI+FUEL+PRESSURE+MECHANICAL+GAUGE+KIT+#6629.html
and an electronic pressure gauge (1/8 NPT) . That aluminum one split recently and started leaking. I found a stainless steel version here:

I have also inserted some stiff, heat resistant foam under the whole assembly to help with support and vibration.
