Do I need to just mount a pressure gage on the fuel rail or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

I think most FPRs have a tap for a gauge. Look on Summit's site and you should find what you need.

That's how I set it up on my Dart; I drilled and tapped a hole in my fuel rail and threaded in a cheap gauge.

You could get an electric gauge so you can mount it in the cabin. Then you would be able to monitor he pressure all the time.

I used an extra port on my FPR and ran a line with a pressure tap, (shrader valve), on it. Sometimes I remove this valve and add a gauge with a long hose on it, so I can monitor my fuel pressure from the driver's seat. I do not have a cab however, so if I spring a leak, it just runs all over the passenger seat. This procedure is how I found all of my fuel delivery problems, (which were numerous).
