I had similar problems in my TR4 and the gauge in the dash always showed
pressure. I eventually solved it by putting a 2" o-ring between the
manifold and the phenolic spacer. I used a hole saw to cut a groove in
the phenolic spacer and sourced some slightly longer studs.

Subject: [FOT] Fuel Pressures
Dear FOT,
I would like to thank everyone for all of the fuel pressure responses.
The
engine is breaking up at about 5,000 RPM at the of the back straight.
Before,
it has always been the fuel pump (I assume losing flow capability). As
outlined below, mounting the gage in the cockpit where I can see it
would provide
more valuable information:

Hi Bill,
We just mounted a fuel pressure gage under the hood. To mount one in
the
cockpit would require some conversion unit from PEGASUS mounted under
the hood.
They do not want fuel running into the cockpit.
There is practically no room under the hood. There are so many gages in
the
cockpit now that I would have to mount it where I would have to stretch
my
neck to see it. I would then run off of the track. It would be more
valuable by
indicating in the cockpit where I could see it.
