Default What fittings for FI gauges?

i used to be able to find this by searching, however........

Im looking to find out what fittings I will need to hook up Autometer electronic boost and fuel pressure gauges. I want to tap the brake booster and the end of the fuel rail respectively. What fittings will I need and wheres a good place to find them if not a local hardware store?

local hardware store will probably not have the fuel rail fittings

fuel rail . -4 a/n to 1/8'' pipe (earls) 1/8'' pipe to 1/8'' coupler,straight or 90*

vac tap (boost gauge) I recomend putting a tee on the small line coming from the back of the manifold, they come together on the passenger side along the firewall and run inside of the car to work the A/c controls look for the inline checkvalve and splice in on the manifold side of it...kind of hard to explain but very clean install!

We stock the fuel rail fittings if you need them!!

Where is a good place to get access to this line? I tried tracing it out, but I didn't get very far with it, didn't even find the checkvalve, whereabouts is that located?. Im getting tempted to just reach back behind the manifold there and hook it up blindly, though I don't really wanna do it that way, Im sure I could do it rather easily.
