i,d flip the regulator so the gauge port was facing the fender and run on top of the inner fender and across the top of the firewall then into the cowl with one small hole.
 
You may already know this but you have to have a pressure isolator if your fuel pressure gauge is inside the vehicle. This prevents having fuel piped directly into the passenger compartment. The other option is an electric fuel pressure gauge.

Tech at the strip will fail you and it's extremely dangerous.
 

daredevil do you mean flip the whole bracket ?so the line faces the firewall if someone could show me pics how they did theres it would help me a lot
thanks
 
Ram charger i want to keep the fuel pressure guage inside the engine compartment, I dont want to bring it inside the car can i just install a simple guage instead of running the braided line

You sure can. Let me find a pic. Stay away from the liquid filled gauges as they have a tendency to start to read low as the gauge gets hot under the hood.

ramcharger can you show me a wider view so i can see more of the whole setup
thanks

I'll try to get a pic for you today sometime, but my set-up is for a 4x4 and not really for drag racing but it might give you some ideas.
