I had to tweak the heck outta the fuel line prior to installing the S/C inlet pipe. I moved (bent gently) the line with the valve in it up just before the spring lock connnection, this in turn placed the schrader valve high enough that I had ample clearance to get the F/P gauge attached.

Nah it's hardly noticeable, there's actually quite a bit of play on the feed line due to the section of rubber hose before it attaches to hardline again at the frame.

What you want to do is stabilize the fuel rail with a wrench that will fit the "boxed" end on the rail where the feed line connects to, gently bend upward on the short section of rail attached to the fuel rail assembly, you may have to bend the feed line that connects into the rail a little bit to get the two to mate. It's not that bad, bend gently.
