hooking up fuel pressure gauge

Where/how do you typically hook it up?
The sending unit has a threaded end.
Do I tap it into the fuel rail?

Just add an adapter in the fuel feed line that has a port for a 1/8" gauge. Can get them on Jegs.com for like $10-20. Here are a few different variations on jegs:

I would recommend the 2nd link because those ones are more sturdy. AKA, not tapped in into the middle of the line. Can thread them right into the fuel rail.
