I've never used that but I've known a couple guys that used that guage and it's one to throw in the trash. Spend the $$$ and get a better one.

Look at Summit's site. Get a fuel pressure gauge adapter that you splice in a rubber section of fuel line (near the carb). They come in 3/8 and 5/16 for about $10. Then buy whichever gauge you want, and screw it into the adapter.

What kind of carb are you hooking it up to? The stuff for the Edelbrock is good, but who needs a gauge?

It is a holley 4160. I thought the pressure guage would be a useful tool when you are having carb problems. The setup in my link will accept other guages that screw in I think and it looks nicer than splicing in the rubber hose.

Look at the lines in the braided lines. Summit has kits for almost every carb and you can add guages etc. to them.
