Default fuel pressure reference

where is everyone referencing fuel from after installing the aird dog 150? right now get fuel pressure from the schader valve on the stock fuel line at the vp44.

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?
