You can drill and tap the bajo bolt into the injection pump itself and it works great there. Just be sure the sender is seperated from the motor with a piece of rubber hose to keep from vibrating it to death. Also go with electronic if you can I have a mech on my 03 and hate it...

As for the electric guage - put on a mechanical gauge - they are cheap and if you screw it up, you arent out $200+ Make sure you run a needle valve (open just a hair) or a pressure snubber to dampen the pulses from the P-7100.
