need fuel pressure sender help

I'm installing a fuel pressure gauge - the sender is a 1/8" NPT .. I'm planning to put it in the fuel bowl. Now somewhere I remember reading that you need an adapter for that - is that the case ? or is there a 1/8" NPT plug in the 7.3 fuel bowl ???

I have this install sheet, though it doesn't answer your specific question (my old brain cannot remember):

I found mine at the local hardware store. I took the plug in with me to find the matching fitting. It did have a flared end on it that would stick into the fuel bowl, but I ground it off before I installed it. I think it was only a couple of dollars.
