Where do I install the sensor for a Fuel Pressure Gauge

So I have an Autometer Electronic Fuel Pressure Gauge. Where does the sensor go? I did a search, but got nothing more than people talking about the which gauges to buy and why to get this gauge vs. that one. All good info, but not what I needed. Please, let me know where I should screw in that sensor. I just don't want to go ripping things apart if there is an easier place to put it. Please advise, and if I missed the thread in my search, and you have a link/keyword I should have used please LMK. I also glanced through my service manual and didn't find any pictures that jumped out and slapped me.

Thanks

Mine is right before the chassis fuel line enters the engine fuel line.

It's right under the intake elbow. Don't try to get lazy and do it with the elbow still in place. Remove it. Also, if you are lucky enough to not have cruise control, then you will actually have a nice little area where you can, at the same time, install another fuel filter with easy access and bypass the rear fuel filter.

It's the high pressure line coming from the fuel pump. The manual shows a pressure guage installed for testing the system. That's the line to use for the sensor. The best picture I have is from Crispy's site:
