Fuel Pressure Gauge
I have an autometer electric fuel pressure gauge that I will be having someone install for me. I am just a little confused about where the gauge will get pressure from, and how to install it. When I called autometer, they told me that it would connect to the shrader valve, and that I would have to buy this connection. This connection is for a mechanical gauge, and I am not sure how it will work with the gauge I have. I cant get a straight answer from either autometer or jegs. Any help would be appreciated.

You don't want to mount mechanical fuel pressure gauges in the cabin because if something goes wrong, then you have fuel in the cabin, not a good thing.

I agree with what everyone is saying. I have an ELECTRIC gauge. When I called autometer I told them that, and they along with jegs, told me to purchase that kit. I am having it put in a pillar pod, but just still don't understand how to connect it.

You just need to figure out a way to get a 1/8" NPT port coming out of the side of something. Pretty sure a few sponsors around here sell a fitting that attaches to the end of your rails where the schraeder valve is and has a 1/8" NPT port to screw the electric sending unit into. It is no more complicated than that.

I have the fitting you need that goes into the end of the fuel rail that you plug the sending unit into. I am not using it anymore with my aftermarket rails. $20 shipped to you. PM me if you want it.
You can see it on the end of the d/s rail in this pic:
