Here are some pics of how I mounted it...It is a Mechanical Gauge which means fuel pressure runs through it so it should be mounted outside of the car...They have Electrical ones that mount inside the car, but they are a lot more money...

Wish I knew how to post a photo in my message...I also have a fuel pressure gauge on the schrader valve to adjust the pressure as needed....the one outside is extra insurance with a blown and methanol injected motor....

or you could just buy an isolator to run a mechanical pressure gauge inside the car like I did.

I've haerd alot of tracks wont let you run with a mechanical fuel inside....dono if its true or not. I like the idea of the electric one inside, but they are waaaay to much $$ for myself. I hooked mine into my FPR with steel line, havent mounted it yet tho.....

once again, buy a fuel pressure isolator, mount it in the engine compartment anywhere other than on the firewall, and your IHRA legal to run a mechanical fuelpressure gauge in your car.
