I have an autometer ultralite boost guage that I would like to use as a fuel pressure guage but I am not sure what all I will need to make this setup work or where to get it... Anyhel would be greatly appreciated

Moose, I'm using a boost (manifold pressure gauge) as my fuel pressure gauge. Illflem suggested it and I ran with it. I used air brake line that is 1/4" and I ran it from the filter housing through a needle valve straight through to the back of the gauge. Hope this helps... Fabian

Most auto parts sell a nylon mechanical oil pressure gauge line set up that has all the fittings you need except the one you'll need at the very end depending on if it's your filter or injection pump. That one you have to come up with separately.

I always push the small tubing though some larger tubing to provide a sheath to protect against cuts, kinks and abrasion. You can cut the ouside tubing into shorter pieces to make pushing it though easier. Just use electrical tape to connect the pieces after pushing the small line though.
