the best place is fitting going in to injection pump.

like wheres that located tthe main line going into the pump so id need to buy the fittings etc?

Follow the line out of your filter, it will lead you to the injector pump. You will probably need to buy a tapped banjo bolt like the one from Tork Tek.

i seen it today when i replaced my strater imma order the banjo bolt and regulater for it i hooked it all up but the sensor it reads 30 psi lol that because its not hooked up im guessing?

If it's not hooked up it shouldn't be reading anything? I guess I don't understand what you did.

Your best bet is to go to Vulcan - and get their "Big Line" kit that replaces existing hardware (smaller diameter line and banjo bolts) with bigger line, AN fittings, etc. The 90 deg. elbow that connects to the VP44 has, on the "back side" a port for 1/8" NPT fitting. Unscrew the plug ...put a new flexible grease gun line (about 12") ...then add a snubber at the end, and put your fuel pressure sensor at the end of the grease gun line (...mount on the fender wall) ...and now you are "good to go". This gives you better flow, eliminates the horrible banjo bolts that restrict fuel flow, mounts the sensor away from engine vibrations, etc. What's not to like???
