Ok, What you'll need to install it.
Go out to your local autoparts store and buy a 'T' then buy 2 barbed ends that screw into it.
Fuel doesn't seem to like plumbers tape so I used locktite [blue] and don't forget the hose clamps.
Let the car sit for a min. or two so the pressure in the line goes down.
Then there are 2 quick locks on each end of the line disconect these and remove the line.
now cut the line you will notice there is a plastic liner running thru this fuel line. Now it's not that easy to shove the barbs in you really have to push hard but they'll fit. Don't forget you will be cutting out a small section of the fuel line so it's the same length. Just cut small amounts off and keep holding up to the lock connectors to make sure it fits.
And that it!
Now you know that installing a fuel pressure gauge like we have down is only for show! But later if you decide to install a fuel pressure regulator you'll be able to take adavatage of the gauge.
Took about 15 min.s to install.
Have Fun!!!!!

GOOD look I like it might just do it my self does fuel leak out when you pull the hose or does it just stop. IS there any bleeding i would have to do.

No, turn the car off and let it sit for 5 - 10 min. This should be plenty of time to let the pressure out of the fuel system. A small amount of fuel will drip out all you need is a shop rag for this.

unsafe and tacky looking. drill and tap the rail for the 1/8 npt, screw in the gauge and be done with it.

even better pull the fuse/relay for the fuel pump and then crank the motor to get the pressure outa the lines and then u shouldn't have any fuel in them
