For example if I were to put it directly inline with the block as opposed to at 90deg. http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x362/vilage-idiot/Motormounts.jpgI posted a pic can anyone tell me if they see a potential problem plumbing it this way (line is only mocked up in place it is not tight and looks cross-threaded in the picture)

Thank-you for your reply. I didn't think it would matter, except thought it may make the gauge pulsate or such.
your time is greatly appreciated

It has a tendency to dampen out pressure fluctuations before the pressure reaches the gauge. If you want to hide it, put the coil of tubing under the dash, just behind the gauge.
