Right now I've got a Sard FPR and a Marshall Fuel pressure gauge. Problem I have is that the top of the SARD FPR has a barb fitting that hooks up to the intake manifold, which is what I wanted to tap into for the fuel pressure gauge. Problem is, the back of the fuel pressure gauge has an NPT fitting, and the only adapter i have is to a -3 AN fitting.

I'm at a loss as to what the best approach is for getting em all to work together, to get an AN to AN or NPT hose, and find a T section that has 2 barb and a AN /NPT fitting on it, which is the only idea I have right now. I was curious if anyone had any simpler solutions..

um.. the top barb fitting is for a vac source. you dont use that for fuel pressure gauge.

get a npt fitting to -6 AN fitting. on the side of that SARD fpr, there is a spot for a gauge.

the side gauge port on the sard fpr is 1/8" BSPT, slightly different than NPT. You could try and find a 1/8" BSPT barb, then run it to your gauge, using most likely a 1/8" NPT barb on the back of the guage.
