Default BBK fuel pressure regulator and guage

I got my BBK regulator and guage, it says the guage screws on top of the regulator. I know I need an adapter but how does it work exactly. Do I screw the guage on then take it off to adjust? Does it just stay on there? I got BBK rails so no schrader valve.

Actually the gauge screws into the side of the regulator. However, when I went to bolt on my throttle body, it hit the gauge. So I had to move the gauge over to the schrader valve. But since you have no schrader valve, I don't know what you could do about that.

the schrader valve should be before the BBK rails right next to the alternator

i had to get a pipe fitting to extend the guage away from the regulator b/c it would hit when i tightened it.
use pipe dope on the threads, if you can get it up past the hood so u can see it while driving, do it. clock wise on the top screw raises pressure.
