Buy a kirban regulator - about $60-$70 depending on who you buy it from. Then spend a few more $$$ and get a NOS or Autometer adapter for the schrader valve fitting to adapt it to -4 hose. Then you can use the -4 stainless steel covered hose or tubing and mount the gauge anyplace you want. Mine is mounted on the inner fender next to the MAF. If yo live near a big city, the places that fab hydraulic hose will custom make a hose for less than the Autometer one.

Or you could buy a fuel pressure gauge from a tool supplier, they com with fittings that go on the shrader valve, just put it on when you want to adjust pressure, and take it off after your done. I just borrowed one, if I need to change my pressure I'll just get it again.
