I have a FP on the cowl that the previous owner had installed, but just not hooked up. I bought a fuel pressure guage hook up kit from Summit, as well as a connection for a fuel rail ( I know, lot of good that's gonna do), but can anyone give me a walkthrough, or point me in the direction of one?

Edit: OK I went out and actually looked at it, and it's pretty self explanatory as far as running the actual lines. But I'm still wondering where to connect the fuel end of the braided line? At the carb? Before the carb is what I was leaning towards, but I figure I'm going to need a T-fitting to do that. Anyone done this before, or have pics where it should be hooked up? I have the day off from work Sat and Sunday, so I want to see if I can get this hooked up.

Oh, and is there a fuel pressure release on the car as well? I know there is a schrader valve on FI vehicles, but no idea on carbed cars. It's all new to me

Is the car carbed? If so there is only about 7PSI of pressure needed to supply fuel to the carb.

I have not ever ran a FP gauge, but TTT for ya.
