Default fuel pressure gauge help...

I'm looking into adding 2 electric fuel pressure gauges to the dash for my 502 EFI's and I have 2 questions:
What is a good cost effective fuel pressure gauge and sender?
Where is a good place to add the sender? if you can't attach it to the front shrader valve.....
Thanks.

You really can't go wrong with Livorsi gauges. They are standard equipment in a large number of new boats. You can remove the schraeder valve and put the sender in it's place. That port in the rail is 1/4" NPT and the sender will be 1/8" NPT, so you will need to use a bushing. You will probably also need a 90* street ell to turn the sender sideways. The other option is to remotely mount the sender and run a hose to it from the fuel rail.

I use the Livorsi gauges as well, you have to purchase the sender and gauge to match the fuel pressure you are running EFI vs carb

Well then he needs a coupler. He has to adapt male 1/4" NPT (fuel rail) to male 1/8" NPT (pressure sensor). So the coupler has to have both female ends

6 in one, 1/2 dozen in the other. Witch one has more? LOL
