I just split the fuel line before the injection pump, put a brass tee with barbed fittings on the hose side and put your pressure sending unit in the top...Mine works great

Well whatever size your fuel line is get a brass "t" that size with two barbed fittings. you can get hex bushings to whatever size your sending unit is for the top. Thread it in and clamp your barbed ends with those hoses tight so you don't have leaks and your good to go.

You could also get a different Banjo fitting for your VP, and install the gauge right there. If you have the tools, you could drill and tap it yourself. Every splice in a hose is one more possibility for a leak down the road.
