Default Fuel pressure question

Ow can I hook up my fuel pressure sensor that came with my gauge? Where can I install it to get a good reading?

can the schrader valve be unthreaded from the fuel rail? If so is that a 1/16th npt?

Yes, on I believe both of those questions, it's been several years since I did it, but that sounds right. (1/16th)
