i have also drilled out the brass caps on the end, tap it (it is big but a reducer fits inside to the standard 1/8 thread (i think that is the size)
i have done it on the front and put a guage there, did it on the back to mount sending unit (for a prosport)

Drill and tap is what I did also and it's been great.

One question though guys.....Does your guage pressure bleed off fairly quickly when you shut the car off? Ever since I put the Walbro pump in this is what happens, but I can't remember if it used to do that with the stock pump or not. I do not have any leaks anywhere either that I know of unless it's with the pump in the tank or is this just normal bleed off?

My fuel pressure is around 34 psi at idle but I will go to about 28-30 soon to see if it can take it. The lower fuel pressure you can go safely at idle the better.

It should hold for hours if not days.

Mine used to bleed down in less than an hour and I ended up having fuel supply problems. The hose clamp on the pump had released. It would not hold pressure at high demand.
