When you change the EDMU to a Wika gauge, is there a way to align the face of the Wika gauge at 12 o'clock up or is wherever it stops when you thread it in pretty much where it has to stay?

A small but thick oring like #105 will work and give many degrees of sealing. Doesnt have to be super tight the air pressure against the oring can make the seal.

With anywhere from 1200 to 4500 pounds of pressure pushing against that gauge's threads, there's no need to force it to a dead stop. Wrap some teflon tape around the threads and you should be able to screw it to a stop, then rotate it back to the 12 O'clock position and not lose air, or even get a slight wiggle out of the gauge! At least that has been my experience. You are usually backing it off about 1/2 of one turn of the threads. Glem's mention of an o-ring is also a good add-on with the teflon tape.
Use this technique at your own risk, I did.

I’m sure these tips will help me get it straight; thank you for all the tips. The o’rings are ordered and the teflon tape is waiting. Thank you all.
