Ah I just bought a used Autometer electric fuel pressure gauge the other day and while I am familiar with the carbuerated 302, I have very little idea of where the pressure sensing unit needs to be installed on the 5.0. I have a 95 5.0 and if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Go to Autometer.com for illustrations and instructions for the specific regulator you have.

Follow the fuel rail on the tassenger side. You'll see a shrader valve around the area of the ECT sensor.

Ok what's a shrader valve? I located my passenger side fuel rail and found a fitting in the front area of it that has a little blastic knob on it (looks kind of like the cap for putting air in your tires) the pressure unit I have, has a fitting that looks like it would go right into that part.

alright cool I'm going to get ready to do this. I'm pretty sure it's ok to pull the plug out and use a rag to soak up the pressurized fuel that comes out, correct? Also, should the shrader valve come out pretty easily or is it tight like a mofo? Other thant that, I think I should have everything down.

Make sure you use teflon tape on the threads to seal it and triple check for leaks after you install it and turn on the motor.
