I think most people get it right off the supply line Banjo bolt. It's the closest to the VP44 you can take the pressure.

not quite - the fuel pressure reference comes from the 1/8" npt port on that 90. And you should already have the fitting to go into the VP-44.

I know the fuel pressure comes from the 1/8" port. I was referring to how to connect that fittiing to the vp44. Im pretty sure the current fitting on there is a banjo bolt.

would this ben the one i need to connect between the vp44 and the 90* 1/2 fitting?

This is what you want:
BANJO BOLT - TAPPED ('98.5-'09, 5.9L & 6.7L) DODGE-Dodge Cummins Diesel Truck Accessories Geno? Garage
Then thread your pressure sensor into it.
