Technical Moving the fuel pressure gauge

Hello all. I've decided to go with a ****erfly type scoop on the car (I have liked the looks of them since I was a kid watching the drag racers). I am going to have to move my fuel pressure gauge to do so because the current one sticks up too high and is too close to the carburetors for the new scoop (see pictures). I have ordered some 1/8 NPT plugs for the hole where the gauge is now, but would kind of like to have the gauge somewhere else. Any ideas out there? Oh, by the way...what is a good way to seal the plug (looks like the gauge has teflon tape on it and not sure that is the right answer). -Glenn

 

Could you put a pair of 90 degree elbows on it and make it so it can be seen while driving?

 

Thanks "Dude", good idea.

 

Do you have to have one? Once the pressure is set you shouldn't need one tell you have a problem that you would need one for diagnosing problems.

 

Hello Saltflats, no, you're right, don't really need it. Actually just kind of liked the looks of it more than anything else. Maybe all the time I spent on submarines has made me like the look of gauges. Heck, I could lighten the car up a bit by getting rid of it! ;-)

 

Fair enough you could use some fuel line to relocate also.
And teflon tape will work on the threads just don't get carried away with it.
