a short briefing on those fuel pressure gauges as i have seen again on the pictures of SASSI.Perhaps i'm getting too prudent ( with age ? ) .

I have seen one in a shop over here and remarked : the fuel pressure line from pump to carb is either a heavy steel tubing or at least braided steel hose.And no less should be used ! And than is there that gauge....according my experience a rather fragile equipment ( inside it works with a spiral wound very thin! copper tube )   , mounted in a hostile envirement : vibrations,heat etc.So OK for tuning an checking but with the hood closed an driving i should replace it with a sturdy plug !

Seeing my pump squirting in a bottle , only crancking the engine....wow ! if that is over your engine and exhausts....

see you !
