That sounds Good

Need a Hose or Line for it and Might be a Good Idea to Put a AIr Bleed Past the Gauge

Where we Getting the Hose or Line 3-4 feet of it don't ya Think

This was 60 bucks is it a POS link below

Black 7 100 PSI Fuel Pressure Gauge W Pressure Sender | eBay

I read about the electrical senders going out in these fuel gauges from time to time

Way cheaper and easier than online.

Electronic gauges are much better IMO, but pretty high dollar.
