If you're there, it would be a good time to install a permanent fuel pressure gauge

Welcome to the forum Mr. Clopek.

Intakes is not a bad job to get removed.
If You could do some test fitting and then get an AN swivel fitting that has the port with 1/8th inch pipe threads, then, screw jnto that port a barb fitting, run out a remote hose and install another barb fitting into that end of the hose, then the option is in place to install a fuel pressure gauge at any time without having to remove the intake again.
 
Like that idea of gauge!
Also had another option maybe.
I have left over parts off 82 Chevy Luv 4 cyl. Diesel thinking I could use the fuel filter housing off that and make bracket to mount a remote filter the micron rating on that wix filter 33128 is 10 micron and rating on factory replacement wix 33976 for 6.5 is 14
All I need to do is buy some fittings and intake gaskets!
Right now my original fuel housing is leaking out bottom either pin hole or fuel past wires.

Fairly common for those hoses to rupture and leak too.
Leroy Diesel does sell O-Ring/seal kits for the FFM.
He also sells the feed the beast kits that can be installed onto Your FFM.
I built a bracket for the FFM on My truck. Brought the hose nipples above the intake manifold and turned it 90* so that the IP and water drain nipples point to the left side. Also had a hose made up for the oil pressure sending unit. Extended that to the stud out of the fire wall where the hood light wires anchors to. Also added the swivel fitting and came from the IP with an extension hose and have the fuel pressure gauge mounted remote so if that sending unit ever fails it is out where I can get to it without removal of the intake manifold.
Oh yeah, one other addition, well two.
That way too short of a ground wire connected to the IP for the PMD harness. I clipped, stripped the ends and added in several inches of the same gauge wire so that wire terminal fitting can be extended out to the right side of the intake manifold. Make it at least a foot long splice. Then that terminal is no longer a struggle to reach if You ever need to switch to another of the remote extension harnesses that should be added from under the front bumper.
The longer engine harness is something else I added so that the engine harness can be laid out above the intake manifold.
Right now the only thing that laid in under the intake manifold is that steel return to tank fuel pipe and I dont see that it could ever create a problem by being under the manifold.
