I've updated my website with what I hope is our current collective knowledge of fuel pressure and fuel pump issues. If anyone has some time, I'd appreciate it if you could check my facts so I don't spread BS.
I haven't given credit to anyone yet, but will add credits when I have the time. I know JRCivic and Lundgren deserve credit. There are a few others who should get some credit too. If you wouldn't mind letting me know who these people are, you'd save me the task of digging into past threads to find these names.
Thanks

I'd love to see pictures of your tap into the fuel line. I'm going to do this myself and the thought of cutting the line is freaking me out.
I'm going for a full sweep Autometer electrical fuel pressure gauge.

Just get the B&M kit and tap it off the fuel filter. It is much easier and less prone to leaking then cutting the line.

Sorry about the lack of pictures. My wife took that roll of film in and didn't get the floppy option. I'll scan some soon.
What I did was slice the protective over wrap (on the side away from the engine) about 4 inches, peel it back towards the filter and cut the hose right near the throttle cable support bracket. Once the hardware was in, I flapped the wrap back around the hardware and zip tied around it.
If anything rubs, it will be the throttle support bracket. This will have to wear through the wrap, then it will hit the metal hardware. Pretty safe. Nothing rubs though.
The sender sticks straight out away from the engine and is easily suspended in the air by the hose.
The sender wire goes over the engine through the strut tower bar and into the cab.
Of course, now I want a second opinion on fuel pressures and ordered the B&M filter top gauge! I should've just gotten it in the first place.

I'd like to get the B&M, but I don't have an Integra. I'm a party crasher.
I don't know what the Integra fuel line looks like, but the Prelude's looks nasty.

DirtyLude, if your filter is similar to the tegs and civics then you should have no problem w/ the B&M. Take a look at this link: http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/Forum40/HTML/001992.html

I've seen the B&M gauge in the stores and purely subjectively the bolt coming out of my fuel filter looks bigger than the new bolt they supply. Also, B&M does not list it as an option for the Prelude.
I wonder if the Helm manual has the size of the filter bolt listed? I'll check on Thursday night when I get home. My only other option is to take out the bolt, take it to a performance shop, and look at them side by side.
