Question Fuel Pressure and Oil pressure...where to tap at?

Now if i was to install a fuel pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge, where would be the best place to tap? I just got done installing a FASS on the shop truck. I figure that i can take the fuel pressure from there...but its before the lift/tranfer pump. I wont get an accurate reading what the motor is seeing from what i guess. Oil pressure....is there a 1/8 plug that i can remove and use....not unlike the Cummins (Top of oil filter housing)? Let me know what yall think! Thanks!

You can tap off the back of the fuel filter housing for fuel pressure, it requires a -4 o-ring to -4 JIC fitting and you can get oil pressure from the 1/8" npt plug on the mount base for the oil filter.
