the best place is to tap in to the fuel rail on the drivers side. theres an AN fitting that you can screw the sensor into and run your lines.

There is a schrader valve that you can use. Since you fail to post what engine you have...
On the LT1 it is at the back center of the fuel rail.
On the LS1 it is at the front driver's side. It is a -4AN or 1/4 NPT male fitting.
You also fail to post what sender or gauge you are using, so...
Most are 1/8 NPT. The sex will vary. So you will probably need an adapter also.
