Hey guys I've a 99 Civic with a B16a2 swap. (Built by some one else). I have a AEM Fuel rail with I think AEM fuel pressure regulator. And an unknown pressure gauge. The issue I'm having now is that that gauge has since failed and is now leaking fuel profusely. I need to know what kind and what fitting it is so I can reach it and fix the fuel leak. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated!

The fuel pressure gauge comes with a 1/8" male NPT fitting and the '90 elbow will also have the same 1/8" male NPT fitting which goes into the fuel rail. So a 1/8" NPT plug wrapped with teflon paste will plug the leaking hole.
Yes almost all such gauges are 1/8 NPT, though a few might be 1/4. The gauge is a relatively fragile part. Remove the gauge and run with a plug when you're not actually tuning or troubleshooting.
