Many of us around here use this one...

I've had good luck with Earl's fuel supply components. The nice thing about Earl's is they are aluminum, anodized and have smooth retention for the hose clamp. However, a well placed and tightened hose clamp is a must for these.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C62DVVL...roduct_details This allows you to pull the hose off without damage, unlike those vicious barb connectors that typically need to be cut off. Removing the hose off a typical barb connectors risks shredding and putting fuel line bits in the carb.

I continue to be happy with my electrical 5 PSI fuel pressure gauge. It has a red light that comes on when fuel pressure falls below 1 PSI.

This one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/26205847825...cAAOSwUBlZsJt0 Sadly the chrome is not salt-water rated, it looks a little beat now. The gauge works fine still. You need a 5 volt 5 PSI transducer, which they seem out of right now. Randomly looking around FleaBay I found this example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/28415350639...Cclp%3A2334524 |

Strongly recommend one with a glass lens. Avoid a plastic lens - a drip of gas will mar the lens.
Also, mine was hard mounted to the carb. Made it tough to change carbs as I also had to switch the gauge. The comment about barbed fittings shredding the hose is good. Just use an 1/8" NPT nipple and cut the threads off one end. Hose to fit (I think 3/8 goes nicely). |

The 3-wire lead from the gauge supplies the 5 volts.
