For 7.3's I use a male -4 ORB x male -4 JIC. Then I have a 90* Female JIC that runs into a hose and then a gauge. Takes one tool to install besides the M5 allen head plug and you can aim it whatever way you want and don't need thread tape.
vader, both trucks you have listed are 7.3s so the link is for 7.3. If you need a 6.0 fitting its the m12x1.5 listed further down the page I previously listed
I used a Male M10x1.5 x Some sort of flare and then used a female 90* flare x -4 Pushloc hose end. Ran that to a mechanical gauge on the cowl just like I do the 7.3's. Worked perfect.
I tried to install my FP gauge Saturday. The threads were right but the adapter (the "nut" section that is used to tighten it) didnt clear the attachment on the side of the fuel bowl. Anyway, I decided to use the billet caps for fuel press an EOT. Sniper32 sent me a link for them. The total for both is about $125. Thought I'd pass it on. Let me know if you'd like the link.
Yup, that's what I did with the fitting I bought. Just take a hair off the edges of the hex.
I am going to go back though and see if there is a fitting that works better.
