Easiest is the schrader valve on the VP44 using a grease gun hose that you can get from Genos.



Mine is connected off a T that is on the rubber hose between the FF and VP44. In any case, recommend that you watch the PSI going into the VP44, else you may miss low pressure due to a bad filter.

I have a grease gun hose connected before the filter and going into the pump. I have a switch inside that I can switch before the filter and after so I can tell when the filter is showing to need replacing because of the drop in pressure.

Got the gauge hooked up when i got home, good thing we got some cummins parts at work, made a fitting to replace the banjo fitting and schrader valve and hooked in there, went and changed the fuel filter since i dont when it was changed last had 13 psi at idle and 8 psi wide open throttle going up hill, i am guessing that is close to normal for a stock engine.



thanks for all reply's
