Don't know if you still need this info, but there is a Schreader (sp?) valve located to the rear of the engine, just behind the Intake Manifold and between the fuel rail covers. See this pic:

LT1 Fuel_Pressure

This fuel pressure gauge is from Hypertech (Summit about $45 or so)...I modified it w/ the valve to release the pressure when I am done w/ it...saves some fuel clean up on the manifold and rear of block!

The water temp sensor is located on the water pump @ approximately the 4 o'clock position (will be the only thing on pump w/ electrical wires)
