i watched some like how to video and he was referring dynamic as the fuel pressure when your moving. he said you have a dynamic fuel pressure when in motion and a sitting still idle fuel pressure. Is there a difference?

Dynamic= driving under load
Static= sitting in the drive way.

Look on Swamps site ( I believe that's where it is ) tells you how to hook up gauge.
You will need a couple fitting & some hose, #4MB-1/8NPT to tap into fuel bowl I got at a Parker Store.
