Where is the proper place to mount this gauge in the engine compartment,, on the drivers side fuel rail?

That is a perfect place for a gauge. The fuel pressure should be the same everywhere from the fuel pump to the fuel pressure regulator.

Screw using the right-side fuel rail!! If you use it, the hose from it to your gauge will rub on the MPS and MPS bracket. Fuel leaks suck rocks--guess how I know???

Just run it to the central take-off on the left-side fuel rail, the one that "should" hook up to the CSV. Unless you need the CSV, in which case you can build yourself a Tee out of brass plumbing supplies.

Pics, as I said yesterday, are here today. The hose is as long as it is because I disconnected it from the CSV to run to the gauge. I didn't bother with a separate piece of hose just for the gauge.
