After finally getting all the parts I needed to put a fuel gauge on the fuel rail, here's my installation. Bought 1.5 inch fluid filled gauge from Jeggs. 1.5 inch insulated stainless clamp from Ancor (more about that later). A length of stainless braid 1/4 inch hose, two barbed "push lock" fittings, one for the 12mm X 1.5 fuel rail and the other for a 1/8 npt, plus double female 1/8 npt coupler, brass, from Home Depot.
Cutting the stainless hose with a metal cutting disk (resin core) on my 4 1/2 inch hand grinder is easy as long as you tape the area with duct tape or air conditioning metal duct tape first. I installed the gauge in the 1.5 inch clamp on the throttle body upper right mounting allen screw because I wanted it away from the exhaust header. Tie wrapped the hose to the radiator hose.
I had to order 10 of the 1.5 inch clamps since I couldn't find individual ones so if anyone wants to do a similar installation, PM me and I'll make one available to you, fairly priced.
