Yes you need a pump and strainer. 26 PSI is too much. 9-13 PSI for TBI

The part you linked is the same one that you can get from Autozone.  You will never get it hooked up to the back of the TBI...
The one I linked and posted a pic of is designed to replace one of the TBI fittings and the gauge screws into it permanently.

It was in this Post BTW (page 1): http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=7421.msg45202#msg45202
