I have an SPA also - but to measure fuel pressure and oil temp.

Escort has plastic lines that you can cut into and fit a compression tee to, to connect the sender.

If you want to see a fuel pressure gauge in the car - then make sure you get one with an electronic sender so the only thing you have running into the cabin is wires and not a capillary fuel line.

If it chafes through you'll have 3bar+ fuel being sprayed everywhere!

Stack do some good ones.

if you are running a after market fuel reg there is always a spare port to screw the electronic sender into


or you could get a 1/8npt welded to the original fuel rail ,if you buy a electronic fuel pressure gauge you should get the boss with the kit .

or get one off ebay
