Outlet of the fuel filter housing or on the test port on the VP-44

Evil, is it the one next to the banjo bolted fuel line towards the left tire. I think it is male so I will need to get a female/female adaptor. Right? Pics would still be supa cool to see jshaw if you could get them. I thought that these kits came with all fittings

I personally do not like using the test port - I like to use it for what it was designed for - a TEST port. Of course, becaouse your using an electric guage - your install will be a little bit different. Instead of having the hose - you would screw your sender into either location.

you can get the needle valve at a hardware store that has a 90 built in male and female ends. I just got one for my setup.

Mine is connected to the vp. Just make sure your sending unit is vertical. I strapped mine to the brake boost lines.
