you will need to drill and tap yours, or preferably a spare fuel rail for install,
unless you have a corvette FPR which is a direct fit. or you have the commandflo one to modify your stock one.
else you might be looking at making your own fuel rail.
any threads that i didnt see already that would help me out with this project
a little more info on installation would be great
Let me see if I can help what brand fpr do u have ? if not accel just go to the junkyard
grab an extra fuel rail I took mine to a machine shop had them to do a minor type of
port & polish to the inside and did like Event said tap into the side plus it really was the easiest way to run my wet kit

thing is, if you get a commandflo like agent omega posted about... you actually have to sorta kinda take it apart and attach the new stuff...
if you get the accell one, then its a direct replacement more or less, but you either have to tap the fuel rail, or install a guage inline on one of the rubber fuel lines somewhere. most through the years opted to tap the actual fuel rail for the guage.
third option is you get a fuel rail extrusion, from like holley, or even rossmachineracing.com get it drilled, add whichever FPR you want and put the guage wherever you want, but that method, also what i am doing, is totally custom.
check with agent omega, he did the command flo one...
the accell method is another boosted option i;ve seen done, but no directions, but i get what they are sayin.
the third way is pretty easy though as you dont really have many limits and can do it however you want, just make sure your machine shop knows
I have a universal FPR it has barbed inlet/outlet and vaccum line. The gauge is already connected directly to the unit...can I put this type of FPR inline with my system or do I still need to do other mods?
go for it only if u think the barb is big enough if not cut an inch or so of hose off and run to a plumbing store and find one that fit tight around the hose
Can I just tap directly into my fuel line with this type of FPR and where is the best place to do so?
yes it'll work ! put it close to the fuel rail as u can get it
thanks and where do I tap in for my vaccum line...
