The fittings you need will depend on two things. First is whether the gauge you buy is rear or bottom mount (location of the 1/8" NPT male). Second is your viewing location. Are you looking from the flywheel end (engine under cockpit) or perhaps from above?

Mine is in the cockpit. I found not being able to see it underway was not optimal.
The sensor screws in to a standard NPT 1/8" fitting and the connection to the gauge is electrical. Last edited by joe_db; 08-06-2020 at 10:59 AM.

When I installed my fuel pressure gauge, after I got the fittings tight enough so they did not leak gasoline, all the fittings were sort of pointing in the wrong direction. I finally bought some ethanol proof thread compound so everything would line up and not leak.
I read advice somewhere not to tighten fittings to tight to the carburetor because the aluminum carburetor body might split at the inlet port. If you do not have a "polishing filter" between the fuel pump and the carburetor this is an excellent time to install one. The pressure gauge and the filter work hand in glove - the pressure gauge will let you know when the filter is or is becoming blocked. ex TRUE GRIT Last edited by JOHN COOKSON; 08-06-2020 at 08:37 PM.
