Default FP Guage and MAP Sensor.....

I can't get my fuel pressure guage to screw in the valve because the MAP sensor is in the way. How is everyone else doing this? It's a standard guage on the end of a hose.... has a slightly angled end, but it doesn't angle enough.

Looks like this:




Can I remove the MAP sensor, screw this thing in, then put the MAP sensor back in? Will it fit?

Um, I haven't had to do this for a while (since I switched to a SR and put a permanent fuel gage on the rail) but it seems to me I just unscrewed one side of the MAP sensor and swung it out of the way. I do remember using a hose/gage like the one pictured on the stock manifold, so I know it can be done, but don't recall the details of how..
