I would plumb it into the fuel feed line into the carburetor and zip-tie the gauge to the windshield wiper. Take it for a drive and note any pressure loss when you get up to speed. Be sure there's not a clogged filter or kinked line causing fuel starvation. It's possible the fuel tank vent is not keeping up, although I'm not sure it would recover that quickly when you slow down.
Most importantly you need good data for a diagnosis. Mount your gauge and let us know what you find.

The heating of modern fuel happens at a lower temperature than the gasoline of way-back-then. When the gasoline gets hot, it can cause vapor-lock.
