Were in the world does the Electric Fuel Pressure Gauge connect to.... Do I just tap off a wire in the engine bay or is there a sender... (Got the gauge for free, no sender) Thanks

On my autometer C2 guage, I had to tap into a wire, as well as put the sending unit on the end of the passenger side fuel rail. It wasnt too bad to hook up, just make sure to wrap some teflon tape around the sending unit or you might get some fule leakage. I am at work right now so i can get any pics up and I forget which wire I tapped, but it was in the kick panel for sure(Drivers side A pillar). I hope this helps some.
 
Ya a little. I was looking in my engine bay, off the fuel line there is a wire, and someone before left a wire tap on it,just curious if that was part of the gauge or something else overall...?? Thanks for the info. pics would be great, but I can wait till COB
 
There is a schrader valve on the fuel rail that you replace with an adapter and the sender unit. At least that is the way my fuel pressure sensor works. The schrader valve is on the driver's side of the fuel rail towards the front and it looks like an air stem. Auto Meter sells the adapter for its sender and it is part no. 3280. Also, the install instructions say to use motor oil as a thread sealant and NOT teflon tape or gasket compound. As for the other electrical you can tap off the fuse box with those fuse adapter thingy's.
