Is there a fitting with a Schroeder valve that I permanently mount between the feed line and the tbi?

No but you can buy this http://marine-performance-parts.com/cfmtechfuelpsiguageadaptorforgmtbi2843505774.aspx and then add a fuel gauge to it.

How about this thing? It goes between the TBI and the pressure hose. Think I can leave it installed?
If you're talking about the fitting i linked you to then yes you leave it installed and leave a small gauge attached to it so when you're under the hood you can see the fuel pressure.

I've got a similar fitting with a shraeder valve on it. I left it on there and I'm hoping it's ok. I've not seen any leaks as long as I disconnect the guage when I'm done testing.
I'm an Autometer guy and this is the one i'm running.

Thanks. I assume there is enough room for the fitting and gauge between the TBI and the firewall?
Which line is the incoming line to the TBI?

Subscibed to thread. I'd like to do this also.
The line on the driverside is the fuel inlet and that's the line that gets the fitting and gauge. I'll see if i can snap a pic when i get home tonight and post it here.
Why does the site that sells that fitting recommend using permetex No2 to seal the plug and full gauge? I just figured teflon tape like all other pipe fittings. Am I missing the boat on this?
I just used teflon sealer (permatex 14A), i tried teflon tape but it leaked.
Thanks, I'll pick some up when we get back from Nashville on Sat.
